In the wake of sexual misconduct accusations towards lead singer Win Butler just a few months in the past, Arcade Fire has continued with its fall tour, at the moment hitting North America. Today, nonetheless, Beck, who was slated to open the exhibits, withdrew from the tour after opening its European leg.
Ticketholders had been knowledgeable by e mail of Beck’s departure. A rep for the artist, who confirmed that he left the tour, didn’t present any further remark.
Haitian band Boukman Eksperyans will take Beck’s slot.
The tour will start in Washington, D.C. later this month.
Feist opened the primary exhibits of that leg earlier than dropping off, saying that it was “incredibly difficult for me and I can only imagine how much more difficult it’s been for the people who came forward. More than anything I wish healing to those involved.”
Butler has denied the misconduct accusations, telling Pitchfork (which initially reported the story) on the time that the sexual encounters had been consensual.
