Miss Fortune Dropped From Sumerian Records Due To Frontman’s Arrest

When you are a fan of an artist or musician, you’d like to think they are impervious to human flaws. Unfortunately, they are not infallible. Apparently Miss Fortune‘s frontman, Mikey Sawyer, was arrested October 24 for domestic violence.

Before the situation with their frontman was known, they let fans know they would not be making it to The Word Alive‘s ‘Get Real’ Tour. Shortly after they made that announcement though, Sumerian Records announced they had dropped Miss Fortune from their roster. This prompted another statement from the band, confirming that their frontman was in jail.

Sumerian Records:
Sumerian Records has dropped Miss Fortune. We do not condone domestic violence, nor would we ever support an artist that does. – Ash

Miss Fortune:
We’d like to point out that the actions of one band member do not represent the actions and viewpoints of the entire band. Yes our singer Mikey is in jail, but no we DO NOT condone his actions. We DO NOT condone domestic abuse. If you’ve met anyone of us in person I’m sure you know we’re a cool bunch of dudes. Saying Miss Fortune condones domestic abuse is a lie, so stop saying it. Thank you.
– Josh Kikta, Ian Marchionda, Harley Graves, Max Santoro

It’s a shame that someone who could be considered a role model to people felt the need to put their hands on someone else. Let’s hope that he learns a very valuable lesson from his actions.
