The official Newsboys Instagram account released a lengthy statement in response to the allegations on Friday, June 6.
"Last night our hearts were shattered when we read the news alleging drug abuse and inappropriate sexual actions by our former lead singer, Michael Tait," the band wrote. "While Michael has not addressed these allegations, we are devastated even by the implications.
The "Shine" singers continued, "Our hearts are with the victims who have bravely shared their stories. If you are a victim, we urge you to come forward. We absolutely do not condone any form of sexual assault."
Additionally, Newsboys, which rose to fame in the mid-'90s, noted, "We are horrified, heartbroken, and angry at this report and in many ways, we feel as if we and our families have been deceived for the last fifteen years."
In the update, the band members revealed that Tait "abruptly" left Newsboys in January.
They concluded, "Michael confessed to us and our management that he 'had been living a double-life' but we never imagined that it could be this bad."
Current members of Newsboys Jeff Frankenstein, Jody Davis, Duncan Phillips and Adam Agee signed the message to fans, and comments were deactivated.

German police shoot and kill female knife attacker
A woman has been shot dead by police at the Theresienwiese in Munich after she attacked and injured at least two people with a knife, according to information obtained by the DPA news agency. The police said officers fired at the 30-year-old, who was then taken to hospital. According to information from DPA, she succumbed to her injuries there although the police initially did not confirm this. The police said the woman initially injured a man with a knife in the area behind the Theresienwiese, home to the world famous Oktoberfest. Shortly afterwards, she injured another woman with the knife. The condition of the two was not immediately known. It was also unclear whether the woman had any connection to them. Several patrols were dispatched to arrest the woman, who continued to wield the knife. Police then opened fire. The number of shots fired could not initially be determined, according to police. The woman was taken from the scene to a Munich hospital. There was no danger to the general public, police said in a brief initial statement to the media in the evening. The case brings back memories of an incident at Hamburg's main train station about two weeks ago: a woman randomly stabbed people on a platform for long-distance trains that was crowded with passengers. According to police, 18 people were injured in the attack. Officers arrested the 39-year-old woman and a magistrate ordered her placement in a psychiatric clinic.
