Yesterday (10 January), Schaffer’s bandmates in Iced Earth issued a statement condemning the actions of their frontman.
“We absolutely DO NOT condone nor do we support riots or the acts of violence that the rioters were involved in on January 6th at the US Capitol building,” wrote the band on Instagram. “We hope that all those involved that day are brought to justice”.
“We are deeply saddened and our hearts go out to the families of the lives lost that day. There are really no proper words to console. Just know we are with you in your shock, grief and pain. Much love to you all. Stu, Luke, Jake, Brent”
