Bei Tailgunner sind wohl Vorwürfe gegen Thomas wegen sexueller Belästigung/sexuellem Missbrauch gegenüber einer Backup-Musikerin im Umlauf. Bis das geklärt ist, ist er aus der Band raus.
Laut Gerüchten ist auch ein Mitglied geschmissen worden, das sich dagegen ausgesprochen hat.

Rhea wurde wohl rausgekickt:
"I want to ensure my truth is told and set the record straight regarding the current situation with Tailgunner.
I will not be addressing any details involving the allegations, however I will confirm that, due to moral and ethical concerns, I am no longer playing for Tailgunner.
This decision is something I wish I never would have had to make, but ultimately it was one I felt needed to be made.
I am aware that people may have known of my departure before any public statement was made by the band. I have also seen speculation and questions regarding the circumstances surrounding my departure, and I would like to clarify and address that now.
Before any public statement was posted by Tailgunner, I became aware through the bands social media activity and later through word of mouth that I have been replaced for the upcoming shows this summer. This was never communicated directly to me from the other members, until, after many ignored communications, I initiated a call to discuss what was going on. At this point, I had never formally resigned, just stated that I am not comfortable playing with the band under the current circumstances.
Due to the response from this, it became clear to me that stepping back was the only option, particularly as arrangements had already been made for the shows to move forward without my involvement.
I want to apologise to all fans that were expecting to see me perform with Tailgunner. I am truly disappointed that it has come to this, and I sincerely appreciate all the support I have received.
While I have been incredibly disappointed by how the situation has been handled, I do want to thank the individuals who approached matters with compassion and support. Their actions have reminded me that there are still genuinely good people within the industry.
I also hope that conversations like these can continue to encourage a safer, more respectful, and more supportive environment for women within the industry.

Metal Hammer hat schon berichtet und bezieht sich auf den einschlägigen Reddit-Thread. Da sind auch Screenshots von transphoben Äußerungen aufgetaucht. Nun ist Thomas der Gründer der Band...
Mal sehen wo das endet.
Ich empfand Reah als Gewinn für die Band. Hoffe sie gründet ihren eigenen Laden.
Musikalisch find ich Tailgunner aber ziemlich ersetzbar.
