Palaye Royale guitarist Sebastian Danzig has been arrested outside a venue, according to a post on the band’s Instagram.
Along with security footage of Sebastian in handcuffs, Palaye Royale have released a short statement.
“Sebastian Danzig just got arrested outside the venue. Let’s see if he makes it to tomorrow sold out show! #FreeSebastian Story: A guy in a car tried to hit mishka (adorable little dog) with his car. Sebastian threw his coffee at him. Later he was charged with assault with a deadly weapon.”
Additionally, both Remington Leith and Emerson Barrett have made short statements on the band’s Instagram story. According to their reports, Sebastian retaliated when a driver attempted to run over one of their dogs, and was subsequently arrested “for throwing coffee on a guy“, and charged with “assault with a deadly weapon”.
The band is planning on posting bail for Sebastian’s release.
As yet it’s unclear whether this will impact any shows on the tour, which was set to start tomorrow. This story will be updated as more details come to light.
