Tilian Pearson ‘Stepping Away’ From Dance Gavin Dance, Band Says

Dance Gavin Dance revealed on Friday (June 3) that longtime vocalist Tilian Pearson (pictured above at far right) is stepping away from the band. The singer earlier this week responded to sexual assault allegations against him.

“The recent allegations against Tilian are something we take very seriously, and we have been in deep discussion regarding the appropriate action,” the band said in a statement on social media.

“Effective immediately, Tilian will be stepping away from the band in order to seek professional help,” they continued.

“Jon, Will, Matt and Andrew will continue on with all currently scheduled tour,” Dance Gavin Dance said. “The band will also be proceeding with the release of Jackpot Juicer as planned.”

“We all worked incredibly hard on this album, and it is also the last recorded body of work from Tim — we want to be sure we give it the full release attention that it deserve to honor his legacy.”

“We know that this is a very upsetting and trying situation for all those affected, and we ask people to please be as understanding as possible while everyone works through this.”
