TORONTO -Arcade Fire is being yanked from the airwaves at some Canadian radio stations amid sexual misconduct allegations against lead singer Win Butler. A representative for CBC says the broadcaster will "pause" playing the Montreal rock act on its CBC Music FM radio station and the Sirius XM channel CBC Radio 3, "until we learn more about the situation." On Saturday, music publication Pitchfork ran a story containing allegations of inappropriate sexual interactions against four people by the 42-year-old musician. The complainants told Pitchfork the alleged interactions were inappropriate based on gaps in age and power dynamics at play and included unwelcome advances. Feist's manager did not respond to requests for comment on whether her decision was tied to the allegations against Butler or part of a previously planned fundraising effort.
