“We have no language left for Brady,” stated the remaining members of Turnstile in a somber announcement following the shocking events surrounding co-founder Brady Ebert. The band, which recently celebrated its Grammy wins for the album ‘Never Enough’, now faces a tumultuous chapter as Ebert has been charged with second-degree attempted murder and first-degree assault.
The incident occurred on April 2, 2026, at approximately 4:41 PM, when Ebert allegedly used his vehicle to run over 78-year-old William Yates, the father of band member Brendan Yates. This violent act has left the music community reeling, especially given Ebert’s history with the band, which he co-founded in 2010. Turnstile had cut ties with him in 2022 due to harmful behavior, a decision that now seems prescient in light of the recent developments.
Brady Ebert, 33, was arrested on March 31, 2026, and made his first court appearance the following day. He is currently being held without bond as the legal proceedings unfold. William Yates survived the incident and underwent surgery, although details surrounding the argument between him and Ebert remain under investigation. The exact circumstances leading to Ebert’s behavior prior to the incident are unclear, and details remain unconfirmed.
In a further statement, Turnstile requested privacy during this difficult time, emphasizing the emotional toll this situation has taken on the band and its members. “Please respect our privacy in this time,” they urged, highlighting the personal and professional ramifications of Ebert’s actions.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, Ebert was recently fired from his new band, The S.E.T., in February 2026. This dismissal followed a pattern of concerning behavior that had already led to his estrangement from Turnstile. The band made it clear that Ebert’s actions were not reflective of their values or the community they seek to foster.
As the legal process continues, a preliminary hearing is set for May 1, 2026. The implications of this case extend beyond the courtroom, affecting the dynamics within the music industry and the relationships between artists. The fallout from this incident will likely resonate for some time, as fans and fellow musicians grapple with the reality of Ebert’s actions.
In a statement regarding the legal proceedings, Ebert remarked, “The judge denied the restraining order because they were not able to meet the requirements.” This comment, while addressing his legal situation, also underscores the gravity of the charges against him. The music community watches closely as this case unfolds, with many left wondering what the future holds for Turnstile and its members.
