Say Anything vocalist/guitarist Max Bemis has postponed his upcoming live appearances, with the band citing the need for him to focus on his mental health and personal well-being.
The announcement arrives as unconfirmed allegations of sexual misconduct involving Bemis have been circulating online, including purported screenshots of private conversations shared across social media and Reddit. Bemis does not appear to have publicly responded to the allegations as of press time.
The allegations have also prompted significant backlash toward Bemis and Say Anything, with commenters responding to the band’s announcement on social media.
Say Anything issued the following statement on August 28th:
“Due to the need to prioritize his mental health and personal well-being, Max Bemis’ upcoming performances have been postponed.
Max will be taking the necessary time away to focus on his health.
We appreciate everyone’s understanding, patience and respect for his privacy at this time.
Refunds will be available at points of purchase.”
At this time, no new dates for the postponed performances have been announced. The band has likewise not publicly commented on the allegations beyond the statement regarding Bemis’ time away.
