Arcade Fire’s Win Butler and Régine Chassagne Announce Separation

Arcade Fire co-founders Win Butler And Régine Chassagne are separating after more than 20 years of marriage. “They continue to love, admire and support each other as they co-parent their son,” a statement on their social media reads. “Their work in Haiti with KANPE continues and their bond as creative soulmates will endure, as will Arcade Fire. The band send their love and look forward to seeing you all on tour soon.”

Soon after the release of Arcade Fire’s 2022 album WE, multiple women accused Butler of sexual misconduct. Butler said he “had consensual relationships outside of my marriage,” and Chassagne showed support in a statement, writing, “I know what is in his heart, and I know he has never, and would never, touch a woman without her consent and I am certain he never did. He has lost his way and he has found his way back. I love him and love the life we have created together.”

Arcade Fire returned earlier this year with their first album since the allegations against Butler, Pink Elephant.
