Ex-Dream Theater drummer Mike Mangini shared a new statement after unusual posts were shared on his official Facebook page. Mangini explained what was happening on his page with a detailed message on Instagram.
Dream Theater fans realized some unusual activities on Mike Mangini’s Facebook page, where Asian models’ pictures were posted on the stories. Mangini then revealed his account was hacked.
The drummer wrote in his statement, “My official Facebook page has obviously been assumed control by the great computers of the Priests of Temples of Syrinx (Hacker Division). I had no idea that they had so many ‘Saints’ of their own. They so graciously shared with my page followers. Who knew there was a Saint Ling-Hanes for Underwear and a Saint Tao-Cantaloupe for cantaloupe growth. I feel more educated now.”
Mangini continued his message with a sarcastic tone and added, “I am all set receiving private messages about it, although I’m so happy that people figured out that those are not Saints I subscribe to and that you know ‘it is most unusual that I come before you so’ – 2112.”
Mike warned his fans to ignore any posts or messages coming from his Facebook page.
He said, “Please ignore my Facebook page until I make an official post from this account and that account that Control has been restored to my team and me.”
A Dream Theater fan commented on Mike Mangini’s announcement and said, “This is the funniest and classiest way to handle that situation.” Another fan wrote, “No wonder the photos of Asian women in swimwear, lol.”
Ex-Dream Theater drummer tried to warn his fans about any possible messages from his hacked account while emphasizing that he wasn’t the one who posted certain inappropriate posts.
Mike Mangini parted ways with Dream Theater in 2023 after Mike Portnoy’s return to the band. Mangini left the band in a classy way, saying he didn’t have any resentment toward his former bandmates. In an interview on Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk, he said, “All I know is the decision was made and when I heard it, all I pictured was, ‘Oh, this is an original guy going back to his band. Uh, okay. All right. Let’s go to the next thing.’”
Dream Theater is currently on a short break from touring until their 2026 dates for the 40th Anniversary Tour start with the first show on January 30th in Bengaluru, India.
