My heart breaks for UK fans of Falling in Reverse who miss out on the opportunity to experience the exhilarating performances of Ronnie Radke and the band. I am a devoted fan, and we’ve been deprived of the live magic they bring, simply because of circumstances long behind us. Ronnie Radke made mistakes in his past, like many of us have, but the man he is today is a world apart from that man who paid for his actions through the U.S. justice system.

Ronnie Radke spent time in prison for a crime he committed, but he has since transformed his life. His band, Falling in Reverse, has continued to grow, producing chart-topping music and amassing a global fanbase. For the UK, denying entry to him and his band not only punishes Ronnie but also a multitude of loyal fans who yearn for their chance to be part of an inspiring live tour. The UK is celebrated for its rich musical culture, and denying talented artists access goes against our shared values of growth and redemption.

Falling in Reverse concerts are not just shows, but communal events where fans from different walks of life come together to find solace, joy, and emotional release. Denying this experience to fans only fuels resentment and disappointment. Ronnie's transformation is well-documented; he has publicly addressed his past, shown contrition, and worked hard to positively impact his community. His music reflects stories of perseverance and the potential for change, and it inspires so many of us to be better versions of ourselves.

It's time the UK government acknowledges that people can change and that punitive restrictions should not be a lifelong sentence. Allowing them entry into the UK is not only an act of compassion towards an individual who has demonstrably rehabilitated, but also towards the countless fans who want nothing more than to share a moment with a band they love.

I urge the UK Border Agency to rethink their decision. Let’s not let the ghosts of the past deprive fans. Let this be a defining moment, a recognition of change and second chances. We call upon every fan, every believer in redemption and transformation, to stand with us. Let’s bring Falling in Reverse, and the positivity they represent, to the UK. Please sign this petition and wear your support proudly.
