Feist has dropped off the Arcade Fire tour following sexual misconduct allegations against Win Butler. 'I'm claiming my responsibility now and I'm going home.'

“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,” she continued.

“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. There isn’t a singular path to heal when you’ve endured any version of the above, nor a singular path to rehabilitate the perpetrators. It can be a lonely road to make sense of ill treatment.

The report came out just days before Arcade Fire’s European tour launched, forcing Feist into this awkward position; she ultimately decided it was best to depart. “I’m imperfect and I will navigate this decision imperfectly, but what I’m sure of is the best way to take care of my band and crew and my family is to distance myself from this tour, not this conversation,” she wrote.

“The last two nights on stage, my songs made this decision for me. Hearing them through this lens was incongruous with what I’ve worked to clarify for myself through my whole career. I’ve always written songs to name my own subtle difficulties, aspire to my best self and claim responsibility when I need to. And I’m claiming my responsibility now and going home.”

Jesus Christ. Your an opening act. Just play 1234 and walk off stage

Arcade Fire should be opening for Feist anyway.

Gotta respect that. I assume she’s walking away from a nice pay day, but you have to put integrity first.

Ok, good to know. I'm cancelling Feist now.

Did win butler had trial ? Was he sentenced ? Did somebody sue him?

'I'm claiming my responsibility' I don't get it.

Good hoping for a better opening act
