Will Butler leaves Arcade Fire

2022-03-20 by Nat S. | 30 Comments
Will Butler, formerly of Canadian indie rock giants Arcade Fire, has announced that he left the band shortly after its latest LP WE was completed.

In a Twitter thread, Butler explained that there was "no acute reason" for his departure other than that he and the band had both changed since he joined in 2003. He added that he has other projects in the pipeline, including a solo record, and that the members of Arcade Fire "are still my friends and family".

Butler's older brother, Win Butler, continues to lead the band alongside his wife, Régine Chassagne.

Thought they broke up like 6 or 8 years ago. I prefer that perspective.

He should just come out and say the truth that Win and his Wife are the most pretentious band leaders on the market in 2022.

He did the right thing. Playing Arcade on Fire is not safe.
