DANCE Gavin Dance has decided to continue on without their lead singer, Tilian Pearson, for good.
Tilian, 36, departed with Dance Gavin Dance in 2022 following multiple sexual assault allegations, but he was welcomed back later that same year.
On Monday, the California band took to their social accounts to reveal that they’d be moving forward without Tilian, and this time, the move would be permanent.
“Dance Gavin Dance has always attempted to reconcile situations internally. But, after much consideration, we have as a collective decided to say farewell to our long time member and friend, Tilian,” the band explained in an Instagram post.
“We thank him for his years of friendship and contribution during his time in Dance Gavin Dance. As people grown and change, creative differences can arise and life path and goals may no longer align.”
Tilian also took to social media to share the news in his own way.
In a separate Instagram post on Monday, the rock singer explained that he cherished every moment in Dance Gavin Dance.
“I had an absolute blast making songs and albums with this group of unbelievably talented dudes for the past 12 years,” Tilian wrote.

Although Tilian is leaving the band, it doesn’t mean his quitting music altogether.
‘A DIFFERENT CANVAS’
“I will be focusing on making new music on a different canvas,” he explained.
“I’m currently in the studio perfecting a new Tilian album and will be playing live shows to support it later this year.”
Toward the end of his post, Tilian confessed that he hoped fans stayed tuned in with him, and his future music projects.
“I know the future will hold new collaborations and new projects, so I hope that any of you I’ve connected with musically or poetically will lend your ears to the next melodic alchemy I intend on cooking up,” he finished.
In 2022, Dance Gavin Dance released Jackpot Juicer, their last album as a group.
Meanwhile, Tilian’s last solo album, Factory Reset, came out in 2021.
After much consideration, we have as a collective decided to say farewell to our long time member and friend, Tilian.
