Feist withdraws from Arcade Fire tour following Win Butler sexual misconduct accusations

‘s Win Butler of sexual misconduct. On Aug. 30, the band kicked off their European tour in Dublin, with Canadian singer-songwriter Feist opening. At the show and following the report’s publication, she donated a portion of her merch proceeds toIn a lengthy statement posted on her social accounts today , Feist announced that after two shows, she is dropping off the tour.

This has ignited a conversation that is bigger than me, it’s bigger than my songs and it’s certainly bigger than any rock and roll tour. As I tried to get my bearings and figure out my responsibility in this situation, I received dozens of messages from the people around me, expressing sympathy for the dichotomy I have been pushed into. To stay on tour would symbolize I was either defending or ignoring the harm caused by Win Butler and to leave would imply I was the judge and jury.

My experiences include the same experiences as the many people I have spoken to since the news broke on Saturday, and the many strangers whom I may only be able to reach with this letter, or not at all. We all have a story within a spectrum ranging from baseline toxic masculinity to pervasive misogyny to actually being physically, psychologically, emotionally or sexually assaulted. This situation touches each of our lives and speaks to us in a language unique to each of our processing.
