About Craig Mabbitt

Craig Edward Mabbitt (born April 9, 1987) is an American singer who is the frontman of the rock band Escape the Fate. He was formerly the lead vocalist for Blessthefall and The Word Alive. He is also the lead vocalist of his side-project band Dead Rabbitts. == Early life == In his early childhood, Mabbitt required the frequent and scheduled use of a nebulizer as a result of severe asthma. He also had to attend a special class due to a speech disorder, but nevertheless he overcame these setbacks, and in his adolescent years, realized his "dream of becoming a singer in a rock band." == Career == === Blessthefall (2003–2008) === While with Blessthefall, Mabbitt released two self-released EPs and one full-length album. Their first full album, His Last Walk, was released on April 10, 2007, on Science Records/Ferret Music. It produced four singles, the last of which, "Rise Up", was released after he left the band, and he does not appear in the video. In the middle of their 2007 European Tour with Silverstein and The Vincent Black Shadow, Mabbitt left the band for personal reasons, and was replaced by Beau Bokan, the former lead vocalist for Take the Crown. === The Word Alive (2008) === Mabbitt founded the metalcore band The Word Alive in Phoenix in 2008 as a side project while also performing in Escape the Fate. He and the group recorded songs for an EP that was never officially released, and November 2008 the band dropped Mabbitt, claiming complications due to his involvement with Escape the Fate.
