Arcade Fire support act drops out of tour ahead of Manchester show after allegations against frontman Win Butler

Singer-songwriter Feist has announced that she will no longer fulfil the support slot on Arcade Fire's world tour, after the band's frontman was accused of sexual misconduct.

Win Butler has faced allegations of inappropriate sexual interactions days before the indie-rockers embarked on their world tour. An investigation by American music website Pitchfork alleged the singer behaved inappropriately and sent unwanted sexual messages to four people between 2015 and 2020.

Butler has vehemently denied anything non-consensual took place, adding he was ‘very sorry to anyone who I have hurt with my behaviour’. He insists any suggestion of wrongdoing is ‘deeply revisionist and frankly just wrong for anyone to suggest otherwise’.
