Asking Alexandria Confirmed for Warped Tour, But Who Will Be the Frontman?

Asking Alexandria is searching for a new frontman, and it's clear they expect to have one by June. Warped Tour just confirmed that the metal core group will be playing throughout the summer months.

Here's the official statement (via Alternative Press):

Singer Danny Worsnop left the group earlier this week.

"Over the last eight years together we've done some amazing things and created something truly special," Worship said in a statement (via Kerrang). "I now, same as then, want what's best for the band and at this point in time, that isn't me. Asking Alexandria will continue to tour throughout the year and will be working on a new album."

The group found itself at the center of a national joke when one man started a Change.org petition to make rapper Riff Raff the new frontman.

"Not only will you gain a new fanbase but you can change your music style from that god-awful devil music you currently play," the site read.

The petition already had the 2,500 signatures needed to legitimize the issue by Friday.

Not convinced they would make a good pair? Consider this: Riff Raff is also schedule to perform at Warped this year. Hmm... The list of other announced Warped bands includes:

• Alive Like Me
• As It Is
• Baby Baby
• Beautiful Bodies
• Being As An Ocean
