History
Formation (2008–2010)
In 2006, lead singer Ronnie Radke was involved in an altercation in Las Vegas that resulted in a friend fatally shooting 18-year-old Michael Cook in self-defense. While Radke did not shoot Cook, he was indicted on charges relating to owning brass knuckles that he brought to that altercation. These charges, combined with Radke's past troubles with narcotics and rehab, led to five years probation. After he failed to report to his probation officer, he was arrested in June 2008, where his probation was revoked and he was mandated to serve his original sentence of two years in prison. At the time, Ronnie Radke was the lead singer of post-hardcore band Escape the Fate, which in 2006, released its debut album, Dying Is Your Latest Fashion. Following Radke's incarceration, he was ejected from the band and replaced by former Blessthefall lead singer Craig Mabbitt. Radke was released on December 12, 2010.
