Ronnie Radke, Falling In Reverse frontman, has addressed speculation about Spiritbox’s new song ‘Soft Spine’ on X (formerly Twitter). A fan’s comments about the song sparked the exchange by making apparent references to Radke.
A fan initially wrote: “‘Soft Spine’ is so good. Love when anyone takes the easiest of jabs at a loser and scrub like Ronnie Radke. And not only does that but makes a great song out of it!”
“If ‘Soft Spine’ is actually about me I’ll write a song about how she cheated on her husband with Tillian [Pearson, former Dance Gavin Dance vocalist],” Radke responded to the fan’s comment.
