Brady Ebert, a founding member of the band Turnstile, has seen his reputation plummet dramatically since his departure from the group in 2022 due to a pattern of harmful behavior. Initially, Ebert was viewed as a talented musician with a promising future, but his actions have increasingly overshadowed his musical contributions.
The decisive moment came on March 29, 2026, when Ebert allegedly struck William Yates, the 79-year-old father of Turnstile frontman Brendan Yates, with his car. This shocking incident led to Ebert’s arrest on March 31, where he faced charges of attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault.
Following the incident, William Yates underwent surgery for severe physical trauma, highlighting the gravity of Ebert’s actions. Reports indicate that Ebert returned to the scene after the collision, reportedly telling Yates he ‘deserved it,’ a statement that underscores the troubling nature of his behavior.
Prior to this incident, Ebert had already been cut from Turnstile due to his detrimental actions, which the band described as affecting not only himself but also the community at large. “We have no language left for Brady,” the band stated, reflecting their disillusionment with him.
In February 2026, Ebert was also fired from his new band, The S.E.T., further isolating him within the music community. His trajectory has shifted from a promising musician to a figure of controversy and violence.
Experts in criminal behavior suggest that Ebert’s history of harmful actions may have contributed to this latest incident. The pattern of behavior raises questions about accountability and the support systems available for individuals in the music industry.
As Ebert awaits his first court appearance on April 1, 2026, the implications of his actions extend beyond personal consequences. They resonate within the music community, affecting fans and fellow musicians alike.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full circumstances leading to the incident, but the fallout from Ebert’s actions is likely to reverberate for some time.
