“Somebody in the crowd was taunting Travis with racial slurs. Travis
invited him onstage with the intent of calling him out in front of the crowd,
with absolutely no intention of a physical altercation. When he tried to help
him onstage, the guy hit Travis in the knee area (which has been in a brace
because of a recent sprain), forcing Travis to defend himself. At this point, a
scuffle broke out.
This whole incident is unfortunate. Travis McCoy and Gym Class Heroes are
anything but violent. Their message is about racial unity and having a good
time. It’s amazing that in 2008 there are still people out there that would say
such ignorant things.
Travis is deeply upset that this happened, and has expressed his
apologies to the band's fans that were at the show, Kevin Lyman, and the Vans
Warped Tour. GCH is putting this behind them and looks forward to seeing
everyone on the rest of the tour.”
