Bad Wolves Booted From Skillet Tour Over New Singer's OnlyFans Account

The LA metal band's chaotic week also included a guitarist quitting over a Dolly Parton cover song.

By Nina BrooksPublished Updated 2 min read

Bad Wolves are going through absolute chaos right now. The Los Angeles metal outfit just got kicked off an upcoming concert run with Christian rock juggernauts Skillet following backlash over new frontwoman Sara "Killboy" Skinner’s adult content creator profile. To make matters even weirder, internal band drama has triggered yet another lineup shakeup—this time involving a controversial Dolly Parton cover. The group recently unveiled Skinner as their newest vocalist following the departure of D.L. Laskiewicz, who moved on to play bass for Falling In Reverse. The upcoming concert run alongside Skillet and alt-metal outfit Escape The Fate was supposed to serve as Skinner’s high-profile live debut with the band. However, conservative rock fans raised a stink over her active OnlyFans presence, prompting organizers to pull Bad Wolves from the bill entirely.

Why were Bad Wolves kicked off the Skillet tour?

According to reports, outrage from Skillet's core Christian fanbase forced the tour lineup change before the road trip even kicked off. Skinner’s adult side hustle proved far too controversial for the family-friendly Christian rock crowd, leaving Bad Wolves scrambling to address the sudden fallout. The band has been plagued by vocal swaps for years, starting when original singer Tommy Vext dramatically split from founder John Boecklin over political rifts before Laskiewicz took over the mic. Now, Skinner's arrival has triggered a fresh wave of public commentary and internal strife.

Who is Sara Killboy Skinner in Bad Wolves?

Skinner is an alt-pop artist and songwriter who recently took over lead vocal duties for Bad Wolves following their single "Paint It Red." While her hiring was meant to usher in a fresh chapter for the heavy metal act, her side gig on OnlyFans instantly clashed with the branding of their intended touring partners. To top off the band's nightmare week, their guitarist reportedly walked away from the group over creative disagreements surrounding a heavy cover of country icon Dolly Parton. Bad Wolves have yet to announce a replacement tour or address how they plan to navigate their latest structural collapse. For now, the group remains one of the most volatile lineups in modern rock.
