It has already been a year since certain sexual misconduct allegations made David Desrosiers step away from Simple Plan “to work on his personal issues” and apologize for the harm he had caused to women by his actions.
Since then, Simple Plan’s communication on social media has only reflected the other four members and there has been no sign of David ever since. David’s Instagram has also been deactivated for a significant amount of time.
Yesterday however, a little over a year since the infamous David scandal came to light, David Desrosiers reappeared on Instagram once more, this time with a blank slate – his profile info doesn’t say anything but his name and he has also deleted all his previous posts. On the brand new image post, David can be seen relaxing on a beach, playing a guitar. In the post, written both in French and in English, David thanked his fans for all the support and gave them a little update on his life one year post stepping away. You can see the full post here or read it below:
It’s been a while, so I thought I’d take a moment to check in with you. It’s now been a year since I stepped away from the stage and social media to focus on me. With the help of professionals, I took the time to reflect on who I am and the kind of person I want to be. This has been an ongoing process that will continue. For now, I’ll keep working on myself and my wish is to see you again on stage eventually.
I want to thank all the fans for their support. I really appreciate it.
See you all soon.”
It is currently unclear, whether his wish to see the fans again from the stage could mean a chance of him rejoining Simple Plan again or him returning to music in some other way.
