New details are surfacing about singer Howard Jones' sudden departure from Killswitch Engage last month. According to various sources, Jones took leave from the group's headlining tour after allegedly having an affair with porn star Allie Foster.
Though neither Jones nor anyone from the band will confirm the allegations, Foster claims that he got her pregnant and demanded she have an abortion.
In a recent post to Twitter, the porn star blasted the singer, saying, "Howard Jones of Killswitch engage, meet TMZ and your bitter baby momma coming with sweet sweet f**kin revenge you dirtbag."
After Jones stepped down from his post on the Killswitch Engage tour, the band issued an official statement citing only "unforeseen circumstances" as the reason and reassured fans that the tour would continue.
"KILLSWITCH ENGAGE vocalist Howard Jones is leaving the band's current headlining tour with The Devil Wears Prada and Dark Tranquility due to unforeseen circumstances," read the official statement.
"All That Remains vocalist Phil Labonte will be filling in for Jones for a few shows in the interim, until the KsE guys can determine what the plan will be for the remaining tour dates, which are currently scheduled to run through the end of March."
