“For me to speak about what I’ve learnt to be such a controversial issue will inevitably bring my bandmates more trouble. My love, loyalty and accountability to them cannot permit that.” he added. “I could remain and continue to self-censor but it will erode my sense of integrity … The only way forward for me is to leave the band.
He continued, “I hope in distancing myself from them I am able to speak my mind without them suffering the consequences.” On Twitter, the official Mumford & Sons account tweeted: “We wish you all the best for the future, Win, and we love you man.”
I am proud to say that I have not heard one Mumford and sons song in its entirety. Maybe his leaving the band is for the best. I mean, who wants to go on tour w their dad?
Bowing down to the woke mob won't get you anywhere.
He quit after a mob created a situation in which it was impossible for him to continue in the hand without having the band harmed by said mob. Your title and article kinda misses the point.
One could always feel the scarily lurking radical fundamentalist cracker vibe wafting off Mumford & Sons
Typical banjoist
The ironic thing about this is MrAndyNgo is right. A brave man covering the vermin who destroy there city. Mumford and sons should be ashamed for not backing their bandmate.
Woke will be the first to throw you under the bus if they get a whiff that your beliefs are unpopular with the masses.
Cancelled himself.... outsiders RitaPanahi

Roll away your stone.
so sad. an incredibly artist wiped out by one tweet.
