Kalopsia Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Never liked him after seeing his behaviour at the Brit Awards 2020. Disgusting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouserat Posted May 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Should add, obviously way more important factors here than someone appearing at a festival or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggins Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Incredibly disappointing. Thoughts with the victims. Another act whose music I'll never listen to again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0paz Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Hard to see how he performs this year really. We do live in a society where you are innocent until proven guilty but this is an incredibly emotive crime to be charged with. I would guess the festival will say go prove your innocence in court and come back next year, or fuck off and die if you actually are a rapist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I expect the fact it's gone this far through the legal system (when so many crimes like this don't) means the festival can quite confidently say 'sorry, not this year - let's wait and see what comes of the court case'.

Xeph1995 Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Never liked him or his music, hope we have a better replacement. Thoughts with victims. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amfy Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Thought with victims obviously and that is the most important thing, but saw him at Sziget last year and he was brilliant so really disappointed that he turns out to be even more of a twat than the throw away comment at the Brits suggested. In the last year I also loved a new band called The Shakes who split in the wake of their lead singer being called out as a rapist & general sex pest. Such a shame when good music goes bad.

MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) Really hope that if there is justice to be had, the victim gets theirs. It's incredibly brave to take it this far. I wonder what the Eavii will say about it all. There were question marks over Johnny Depp in 2017, and Emily Eavis brushed them off and said it was up to each area to book who they wanted, regardless of their moral code. I wonder if they'll deem this to be too much, that it's actually going to court, albeit the whole innocent before proven guilty discussion. Although, JD was also taken to court too... Or perhaps as the OP says, he'll just disappear off the poster. Edited May 16, 2023 by MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine for one minute that someone who has been charged with rape will be able to fulfil any outstanding gigs. I fully expect him to be dropped from Glasto, Blur support etc pronto. If I was on the bill with him I wouldn't want him around. Even if he isn't, I'd imagine the terms of any subsequent bail would prohibit such performances.

sisco Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Think someone said he’s already disappeared from the R&L poster. Can’t imagine he’ll be at Glasto or supporting Blur either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vile person True, it's very much in the here and now, as opposed to the Johnny one which was 8 months done and the UK case was really over libel, not if he actually was a domestic abuser or not. Think he's gonna be dropped now too. Footballers are also suspended pending investigations into sexual assaults etc. Would think the same applies here.

balti-pie Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Just now, golden egg said: Not an Arsenal fan then? No I’m not. But it’s not something to attack the fans for, I’m sure the majority of them wouldn’t want that particular player in their team either; a group of them organised a banner earlier this season saying ‘kick rapists out of football’ and it was flown over the game they were playing that day, so absolute respect to them for that. It’s the club that need to take the stick for it, they’re the ones who are pretty disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko45 Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 Obviously doesn't make him guilty of anything and it's purely opinion but always thought he carried himself terribly. Just a lot of his antics didn't sit right with me. Think until the case is sorted in the courts it's wise to remove him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahidf Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 Noted that Dizzee Rascal was found guilty of domestic abuse and hes still on festival line ups. Scuzzy business really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
