CHIODOS Singer Reportedly Checks Into Mental Health Facility Following Suicide Attempt - July 24, 2008


AbsolutePunk.net reports that Craig Owens, the singer for Davison, Michigan-based post-hardcore/emo band CHIODOS, has checked into a mental health facility following a suicide attempt at his home on July 20.

According to the site, Owens posted the following message (since removed) on the band's web site:

“So, after an attempted overdose early yesterday morning, I found myself awake in the emergency room around 8-12 hours later. However, don't worry about me, I'm fine. I am being checked into a mental clinic beginning tomorrow at 8 a.m.

"I'd like to apologize to everyone at Power Chord Academy, for me not being able to make it to speak to all of the kids tomorrow in Chicago. I promise to make it up, the best that I can and hopefully will be able to reschedule the entire event.

"Wish me luck, and let's hope that I learn from this, and that I am able get out very soon."

CHIODOS' official message board moderators have been instructed to delete posts or threads about Owens' condition. "Craig is going through a hard time right now and he appreciates his fans support," moderators wrote on the site. "However, I have been asked that we give him the privacy he deserves during this time… Let's give Craig the space and respect he deserves."

Damn. I thought Chiodos was a new Taco Bell item.

He probably realized he's been wasting his life away in that horrible band.

Too soon?

publicity stunt

lol he was going to talk to kids the next day

what a role model

Its always all about the kids with emo kids. Fucking pussy.

If he was a true emo role model he would have tried to kill himself with razors. what an A-hole.

he is a pussy, even by emo standards.

If at first you don't succeed...
