Feist pulls out of Arcade Fire tour, citing allegations against frontman Butler
Indie rock singer Feist said Thursday she would no longer tour with Arcade Fire after the band’s frontman Win Butler was accused of sexual misconduct.
“I can’t continue,” Feist, 46 wrote of her “incredibly difficult” choice in a lengthy letter posted on Twitter that explained her thought process.“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,” she wrote.
“The Bad In Each Other” artist said her songs ultimately made the decision for her after she played them during the tour’s first two dates.
