Foster the People jumped into the Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theory fray after the billionaire and alleged sex trafficker reportedly died by suicide over the weekend. On their official Twitter account, the band promoted unfounded claims that Epsteins body was not the one found dead in his jail cell, and that it was instead a lookalike.
Have you seen photos of the body? the band wrote. Its obviously not him. My guess is, Epsteins on a private plane to somewhere in the middle east getting prepped for plastic surgery right now. They added the hashtag: #EpsteinBodyDouble.

After a slew of replies, the musicians expanded on the theory, noting, I find it strange that Ive been chastised by reporters from NBC and other news outlets for my opinion. Everything you guys have been reporting has been conjecture. If you want to be considered a respected authority of truth, do a better job. And to anyone else who considers it off brand for an artist to talk about social issues, cover-ups, and justice A. you need a history lesson B. youre scared of what im saying C. my voice is my brand, whether its used to speak or sing.

More than ever artists need to speak up, because theyre not getting paid by sponsors or told how to spin a story by their bosses, the band added. Rupert Murdoch isnt controlling their narrative. Support your artists. Support real journalism. Fact check everything. Do your own research.

I'm sure he was helped by JFK jr.
