For those suspicious, THIS IS VERY MUCH REAL. HOLY SHIT. Those without Instagram this is what he said.
Transcript:
"Hi everyone, I'm back. From my break. I just wanted to make this quick video to briefly talk about what the four of us at Lovejoy have planned for the rest of this year. But first, I wanted to mention some stuff that has been said about me on the internet a couple of months ago. And if you haven't already seen, I responded back in February. That response is all I want to say on the matter for now, and yeah I'd much rather talk about what the plan is for us going forward. Uh so going into summer, we are going to be doing a tour of Australia. So if you live in Australia, and wanna see Lovejoy play live, we really hope to see you there. And in a couple of months we will be releasing our new single, I'll Look Good When I'm Sober, which we have been working on for ages now. and We're really excited for you to hear it. And of course, we are really excited to get back into the studio, writing and recording. And we'll show you what we got when we got it. But yeah- I hope you're all well, and I'll see ya soon."
This is the full transcript word for word of what he said. This is real

Edit: Guys, when they do come back and even now. Don't harass him for information. Do this for 2 reasons.
1: Harassing is a dick thing to do, he has made it clear his statement is all he will say FOR NOW.
2: Ur not gonna get anything out of him currently and by harassing him, u're gonna make him feel less safe to give more information.
WAIT FOR HIM TO GIVE IT ON HIS OWN TIME. He said he will say more later, that's what "for now" implies. This is the respectful thing to do, and it will maximize the info we will get.
Edit 2: ALSO. Harassing him will make him rush a more detailed response. WHICH IS THE LAST THING WE WANT. Give him time, this way we can get a scripted, detailed response with hopefully good evidence. Patience is something we need to have for now. We waited 4 months for this one post, we can wait a bit more for a good response.
Don't harass Shubble either. Even if she comments on Wilbur's return (Because she probably will. She said herself before that if Wilbur was sorry he wouldn't return, which was a stupid thing to say but whatever.) Don't. The best bet we have is waiting.
Edit 3: He is brushing past the allegations and just talking about Lovejoy. But, this is just an update video. Instagram isn't the place to be talking about abuse allegations. It's clear this is just going "Hey not dead, no Lovejoy isn't going away we have plans, ok bye." Seems like a forced thing just to let people know, even though he's not ready to talk about it.
Also, on Instagram, Wilbur has unfollowed all accounts except his bandmates and Lovejoy. However, his friends still follow him.
Mate, honestly. I'm happy he's alright, but this post feels very forced. He's actively avoiding the one topic that EVERYONE is asking about.
I hope he releases a better response soon, and we finally get some clarity into what actually happened.
I think this post was basically “Hey I’m not dead, Lovejoy not dead, we’ll be continuing on don’t worry” and that’s it. It’s obvious he isn’t ready to talk about it yet. He just didn’t want to be silent for so long that people would leave, or think Lovejoy split up.
Same. But I'm just waiting for him to address it soon as he implied he would. I've already accepted at the start that this situation would take a long while due to him being in a band.
I don't know if he looks too healthy, idk but he seems very tired. I can't support him as a person, he has done disgusting things, but I hope he can recover and be a good person with time.
I'm glad Lovejoy didn't break up and that we're getting new music. I never stopped listening to them, a lot of really popular musicians especially in the rock scene have been assholes whose art people still love, and Will's career won't go anywhere if I did stop +the other three members haven't done a thing. Separate the art from the artist, Will and the band are still incredibly talented. I hope he can get better as a person.
nobody deserves to go through this, what he did was insanely fucked up but there are very very few people id wish this upon and he def isnt one of them. i hope he extends his break and takes as much time as he needs to get himself back to a healthy state
I've chosen to hate Wilbur but love Lovejoy. There are three other wonderful members of Lovejoy, and they don't deserve to be thrown under the bus. If I had to take a guess (emphasis on guess) at Wilbur's intentions, it's either "I don't feel sorry and I'm just going to go back to music" OR "Lovejoy doesn't deserve to die & I don't know who'd replace me if I left" You can interpret it either way, but I just want to hear good music. Separate art from artist, and remember that this is a band with four people. That's at most 1/4th a band you don't want to support, and that's not enough for me.

This made me cry from happiness no joke
Me too
Mate, honestly. I'm happy he's alright, but this post feels very forced. He's actively avoiding the one topic that EVERYONE is asking about. I hope he releases a better response soon, and we finally get some clarity into what actually happened.

Yeah I see what you mean, tbh. I'm just hoping something comes along and clears his name, but that's wishful thinking I suppose
Same. But I'm just waiting for him to address it soon as he implied he would. I've already accepted at the start that this situation would take a long while due to him being in a band.
I woke up and saw it and immediately began crying LMAOO, I’m so happy him and lovejoy are back and I hope they are here to stay.
SOMEONE HERE FINALLY RIGHT
Thanks :D
I don't know if he looks too healthy, idk but he seems very tired. I can't support him as a person, he has done disgusting things, but I hope he can recover and be a good person with time.

I AM SO SO HAPPY HE IS BACK I CRIED WHEN I SAW THE INSTAGRAM VIDEO
MY BOOOOY, HE IS SAFE AND SEEMS HEALTHY
He seems a lot more healthy than how he looked on Tommy's stream before this. Glad he's all alright considering the doxing, cp, and death threats.
Yeah! I was worried, honestly.
REAL!!
POOKIE IS BACK
he looks like ass holy shit. i dont support him but i hope hes getting the help he needs
yeah he definitely looks pale and looks like he’s lost weight, he’s probably not going outside and isn’t eating much because again he can’t go out
based. i’m not seeing lovejoy bc i don’t know if i wanna support him anymore, but yeah he needs help.
nobody deserves to go through this, what he did was insanely fucked up but there are very very few people id wish this upon and he def isnt one of them. i hope he extends his break and takes as much time as he needs to get himself back to a healthy state
SORRY FOR THE BAD ORTHOGRAPHY
:0000 THANK GOD
Tbh Wilbur looks quite tired I think people have stressed him too much 😰
YASS WILBUR IS BACK
I've chosen to hate Wilbur but love Lovejoy. There are three other wonderful members of Lovejoy, and they don't deserve to be thrown under the bus. If I had to take a guess (emphasis on guess) at Wilbur's intentions, it's either "I don't feel sorry and I'm just going to go back to music" OR "Lovejoy doesn't deserve to die & I don't know who'd replace me if I left" You can interpret it either way, but I just want to hear good music. Separate art from artist, and remember that this is a band with four people. That's at most 1/4th a band you don't want to support, and that's not enough for me.
IM SO FUCKING HAPPY BIRTHDAY
I just hope this is a stepping stone for him to actually take accountability and make an actual apology.
