Indie88’s Toronto program director also confirmed that his station made “a quick decision over the weekend to pull the band’s music,” but “has yet to have a full internal discussion about the permanence of that decision.” On Saturday, Pitchfork published a lengthy report where four people came forward accusing Butler of having inappropriate sexual relations with them. They were all between 18 and 23 years old at the start of the meetings, which took place in overlapping periods from 2016 to 2020, when the singer was between 36 and 39 years old. Arcade Fire kicked off their tour tonight in Dublin at the 3Arena with Feist and Beck opening. Neither Beck nor Feist have commented on the allegations, and the evening was apparently uneventful. According to a photo of Feist’s merch tent, her team will donate “all proceeds” from merchandise sales to domestic violence organization Women’s Aid Dublin. However, this donation is not unique to this Arcade Fire tour. Butler has denied any non-consensual sexual activity. In a statement through a crisis PR firm, he called the accusations of non-consensual sexual activity “revisionary and frankly just wrong” and apologized. “I regret not being more aware and attuned to the effect I have on people,” Butler said. “I was screwed, and while it’s no excuse, I’ll continue to look forward and heal what can be healed and learn from past experiences.”
