Despite this, he claims, Parada’s bandmates see him as “unsafe to be around, in the studio, and on tour.”
The 48-year-old musician says he has “no negative feelings towards my band” and is “heartbroken” by the situation. And he insists he’s not an anti-vaxxer but, rather, sits on the side of informed consent.
“I need to state, unequivocally, that I support informed consent – which necessitates choice unburdened by coercion,” he continues. “I do not find it ethical or wise to allow those with the most power (government, corporations, organizations, employers) to dictate medical procedures to those with the least power.”
The Offspring hasn’t commented on Parada’s claims.
Parada joined The Offspring in 2007 and performed on the band’s latest record, Let The Bad Times Roll, their first album in nearly a decade. Bad Times dropped out in April and went to No. 1 on the Billboard’s Alternative Albums Chart and No. 27 on the Billboard 200.
