Grammy-Award winning rockers Turnstile have made headlines as of late for the wrong reasons. Earlier this year the group took home the best Metal Performance Grammy for their song “Birds,” and they also garnered Best Rock Album honors for their latest release “Never Enough.”
This week however, the band’s former guitarist Brady Ebert was charged with second degree attempted murder and first degree assault for allegedly striking singer Brandan Yates’ father with a vehicle. Ebert was arrested after it was said that he struck 79-year-old William Yates with his car in the driveway of Yates’ home. Ebert allegedly arrived at Yates’ address honking his horn and screaming obscenities before the incident took place.
Turnstile issued a statement following the news saying: “Turnstile cut ties with Brady Ebert in 2022 in response to a consistent pattern of harmful behavior affecting himself, the band, and the community. After exhausting every available resource to support his access to help and recovery, a boundary ultimately had to be set when healthy communication was no longer possible and he began threatening violence.”
The statement continued: “In the years since, his baseless tirades have continued in public. We never addressed it. We chose to protect his privacy and the circumstances around his departure, even when he did nothing to be deserving of that protection. Over the past few months, his threats only escalated further. This past week, that violence led to a physical attack when Brady went to the house of Brendan’s parents and used his vehicle to run over Brendan’s father, causing severe physical trauma. We are grateful that Mr. Yates survived, has successfully undergone surgery, and we’re hoping for the best possible outcome in his recovery. We have no language left for Brady. Please respect our privacy in this time.”
