Craig Owens once again does some interesting things D.R.U.G.S. wise.
He isn't playing some Warped dates and was cast in a movie. He said:
"Hey everyone!
So I have some exciting, yet bittersweet news. I’ve been offered a once in a lifetime opportunity, and will be filming my first movie! It’s always been a dream of mine to be in the movies, and acting has always been a huge passion in my heart and in my life. When this entire thing came up, I knew that it was something that was meant to happen.
Unfortunately, this opportunity comes at the same time as a few of the Warped Tour dates coming up. So, with a heavy heart I have to say that the band will not be playing the shows on the 17th, 19th, & 20th of July. Warped Tour has been gracious enough to let me follow my dreams, and fulfill my obligations that I had previously made months prior. It has also been a life changing tour, that I respect, enjoy and am always honored to be a part of. The things that Warped Tour does for it’s bands, and organizations is overwhelming to say the least.
Now, with all of that being said, the rest of the band will still be attending these dates, doing signings, etc. I urge you to still come out to support the rest of the guys, and the entire tour itself. We will be making this up to all of you in the future, so PLEASE KEEP YOUR TICKET STUBS for a special show, meet and greets, merchandise offers, etc..
Wish me luck on my journey, and I will be back to rock Warped Tour on the 21st of July in Camden, NJ !!
Love all of you guys with all of my heart,
Craig & D.R.U.G.S."
That means they won't be playing my CT date… which kind of sucks.
I understand pursuing your dream, and I applaud Craig for this, but on top of promoting himself to no end and being, what seems, not focused on the band… It seems weird. Does he want to be in D.R.U.G.S.? Apparently so, but in the direction he's going he's making it look like he'd rather be doing something else. First the solo tour now this, maybe its Pete Wentz syndrome. I suppose we will know that if a clothing line is next.
I wish Owens the best of luck, but it just looks like he may need to clarify his goals and stop stringing his band and his fans along.
