SNL Fans Upset Over Performance By Arcade Fire
SNL fans are not happy that the showrunners allowed the band Arcade Fire to appear on the live show for the second time this season. Not only are fans upset that the band was allowed to play after the disturbing allegations against their frontman for sexual misconduct.
Arcade Fire is a Canadian Indie band and they performed two tracks from their forthcoming sixth album, Pink Elephant, in what was their second appearance on the show this season.
Their performances come just three years after their frontman was accused of sexual misconduct. Win Butler was accused of sexual misconduct by three women and a gender fluid individual. Their new album is the first one they have released since these allegations occurred.
The alleged victims all say he sent unsolicited explicit messages, used coercive control and also emotional abuse, along with physical assault. Butler did confirm that he had relations with all of these people. However, he denies any misconduct, saying everything was consensual.
He Previously Issued A Statement
SNL performer Win Butler previously issued a statement following the allegations made against him. At the time he said,
“While these relationships were all consensual, I am very sorry to anyone who I have hurt with my behavior. As I look to the future, I am continuing to learn from my mistakes and working hard to become a better person, someone my son can be proud of. I’m sorry I wasn’t more aware and tuned in to the effect I have on people – I f**ked up, and while not an excuse, I will continue to look forward and heal what can be healed, and learn from past experiences.”
Fans went to X to talk about the performance on Saturday Night Live. Many were not happy that the band was allowed not one but two performances this season after Butler was accused of these things.
Other fans thought they were just completely boring. Many comments were posted indicating that their new album is not going over very well.
Someone said they wondered who Win Butler paid in order for the band to even get to appear on SNL in 2025. Others said it was the worst song they had ever heard. Still other fans questioned what in the world they had just watched.
Another fan said, “Arcade Fire’s snl performance giving me second hand embarrassment for ever loving them, and also f**k win butler.”
The endless comments slamming Arcade Fire went on and on.
Win Butler is married to bandmate Regine Chassagne. It’s unclear what she thinks about the allegations against her husband.
