Our previous post we told you Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes was arrested for hitting a person in the audience who called him a racial slur. Perez Hilton reported Travis' publicist released this... “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.”
