Unless you've been completely offline for the last day, you know that As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis was arrested yesterday, May 7th after trying to hire a hitman to murder his ex-wife. The hitman ended up being an undercover cop. Moments ago, his bandmates broke their silence on the issue:
"To our fans,
As we post this, the legal process is taking its course and we have no more information than you do. There are many unanswered questions, and the situation will become clearer in the coming days and weeks. We'll keep you informed as best we can.
Our thoughts right now are with Tim, his family, and with everyone else affected by this terrible situation — and with our fans, whom we love and draw strength from.
Thank you for understanding, and as always, for your support of As I Lay Dying"
Needless to say, the statement does not come as a surprise. I doubt Tim shared any of his plans with his bandmates. Lambesis will be arraigned tomorrow
