Arcade Fire’s Win Butler and Régine Chassagne Split

Arcade Fire frontpeople Win Butler and Régine Chassagne announced via a joint Instagram statement that they have separated after 22 years of marriage and remain loving co-parents. The couple, who married in 2003 and share a son born in 2013, said their creative bond and the band will endure and that their work in Haiti with KANPE will continue. The split follows a 2022 Pitchfork report alleging sexual misconduct by multiple people; Butler has acknowledged extramarital relationships, said they were consensual, and issued an apology, while Chassagne publicly defended him at the time. Arcade Fire released a comeback album and played a short spring tour months before the announcement. Their joint statement affirmed both members will remain part of the band and said they look forward to touring soon.
