In November 2017, Lacey was accused of sexual misconduct occurring during the early and mid-2000s with allegedly underage fans. Lacey issued a public apology on Brand New’s Facebook page, prompting touring guitarist Kevin Devine and supporting act Martha to pull out of the upcoming European tour dates. The band later announced the postponement of all of their upcoming tour dates, which were not rescheduled. Aside from a few meetings at guitarist Accardi’s Joshua Tree home and at a Texas studio, they remained publicly inactive since November 2017, neither confirming nor denying the break-up of the band.
