News about Win Butler

Arcade Fire Win Butler, the frontman of the famed indie rock gods, is facing four charges of sexual assault by a large number of younger followers of the band. The allegations were laid out in a bombshell new Pitchfork study released Saturday. Four people were interviewed for the piece, all using pseudonyms. Butler's accounts were bolstered by interviews with family members and a analysis of text and social media messages between Butler and the alleged victims, according to Pitchfork. Butler, 46, has been married to Arcade Fire singer Regine Chassange since 2003. They formed the band together in 2001. The couple has a son together. Butler has been cited several times in the Pitchfork article, both offering rebuttals and outright dismissing the majority of the charges. He admits to having sexual relations with the women, but denies that coercion took place.
