Caleb Shomo, the frontman for rock band Beartooth, has come out as gay in a message to his fans. Shomo took to Instagram on May 23 to reveal “I am a proudly gay man,” and explained that “This is something I’ve been unpacking and reckoning with in my life for quite some time now.”

His announcement came after the release of Beartooth’s recent single and video, “Free,” which drew criticism from online trolls who were quick to criticise the video’s colorful template and Shomo’s changing style.
