Caleb Shomo, the frontman of Columbus, Ohio metal band Beartooth, has come out as a “proudly gay man” after “a decade burying feelings with alcohol.”

The singer and multi-instrumentalist made the announcement on his social media, writing, “There’s been a lot of speculation surrounding my personal life as of late and I feel compelled to set the record straight before it affects those I love any further. I am a proudly gay man.”

Shomo continued, “This is something I’ve been unpacking and reckoning with in my life for quite some time now. It’s been difficult to navigate the feelings surrounding the subject and figure out what to do with this fact.”
