Tyler has a history with Collective Shout. In 2013, the group lobbied for his Australian shows to be canceled and his visa taken away. During a show in Sydney in 2013, Tyler went on a tirade against a member of the group, calling her a “fucking bitch,” a “fucking whore,” and a “fucking cunt.” The member reported Tyler to the police.
Earlier this year, Collective Shout renewed their campaign to have Tyler banned.
We’ve reached out to Tyler’s camp for comment.
