I have been asked to respond to this news article that’s been released over the last couple of days. My heart is broken to hear this about Michael Tait. I first met Michael when he was with DC. Talk back when I was working with Christian FM 92. In Florida. The guys seem to be upstanding Christians. And I know Newsboys quite well and when Michael joined them, I thought he was a great fit for them. But since then, all of these sexual allegations, drug abuse, and drinking kind of blows me away. In the past, I’ve pulled an artist‘s music and until the artist repented and got their life right with God, did we add them back into play In this situation, Michael belonged to two groups DC talk and Newsboys and I don’t think we need to stop playing the music of either of those groups because of one person. So as far as the music of DC Talk and Newsboys with Michael Tate, doing the lead vocals, we will continue to play their music because Newsboys did not know about any of this, and they were shocked and heartbroken Please be praying for all of those involved and let’s pray for Michael Tait’s salvation.
Michael Tait, the longtime frontman of Christian rock band Newsboys and a former member of Grammy-winning group DC Talk, is facing multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and substance abuse,
