"Last night our hearts were shattered when we read the news alleging drug abuse and inappropriate sexual actions by our former lead singer, Michael Tait," the band wrote. "While Michael has not addressed these allegations, we are devastated even by the implications.
The "Shine" singers continued, "Our hearts are with the victims who have bravely shared their stories. If you are a victim, we urge you to come forward. We absolutely do not condone any form of sexual assault."
Additionally, Newsboys, which rose to fame in the mid-'90s, noted, "We are horrified, heartbroken, and angry at this report and in many ways, we feel as if we and our families have been deceived for the last fifteen years."
