Arcade Fire's Win Butler Accused of Sexual Misconduct - Read His Lengthy Response

Win Butler, the frontman of the band Arcade Fire, has been accused of sexual misconduct by four people.

The incidents all happened between 2015 to 2020 when the alleged victims were between the ages of 18 and 23 and he was between the ages of 34 and 39.

Three of the women told Pitchfork that the encounters with Win were “inappropriate given the gaps in age, power dynamics, and context in which they occurred.” The fourth person, who is gender-fluid, said that they were sexually assaulted by Win twice.

Win has released a lengthy statement in response to the allegations and his wife and bandmate Regine Chassagne has also spoken out.

Arcade Fire Daft Punks the Coachella Crowd - Watch Now!

Arcade Fire closed out the second weekend of the 2014 Coachella Music Festival with a surprise that appears to have been the guys from Daft Punk on Sunday (April 20) in Indio, Calif.

The band’s frontman Win Butler told the crowd that they had “some very special guests and we’re just going to bring them up up front.”

Some people in the audience claim he called the guys “Paft Dunk” and it is unclear if it really was Daft Punk‘s Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo at all.

When the guys in the trademark robot hats and all white outfits got on stage, they started slow jamming to “Get Lucky.” Watch below!
