CHVRCHES singer, Lauren Mayberry, has once again called out the trolls who continue to make disgusting threats made against her.

The singer of the Scottish trio recently posted a threat issued against her to her personal Instagram account, in a bid to show the public how much online abuse that she, and frankly, far too many other female musicians, unwarrantedly receive. Below is a statement from the singer that accompanied her original post. 

"My band is lucky enough to have some of the most awesome, supportive and respectful fans in the world and we are so excited to be in the studio making an album to share with them. Yet, on a daily basis, we still receive communications like this. These people never learn that violence against women is unacceptable. But they also never learn that women will not be shamed and silenced and made to disappear. I am not going anywhere. So bring it on, motherfuckers. Let's see who blinks first."

Whether they be serious or merely empty, things like this shouldn't be taken lightly. You can find the photo, which shows the pretty messed-up threat, below.
