Arcade Fire’s Win Butler & Régine Chassagne announce separation

Arcade Fire leaders Win Butler and Régine Chassagne have announced their separation. A message on social media reads:

After a long and loving marriage, Win & Régine have decided to separate.

They continue to love, admire and support each other as they co-parent their son.

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.

Arcade Fire played some theater shows in the spring but they’ve mostly been quiet since releasing their new album Pink Elephant in May. It’s the first album they’ve released since Win was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple people in 2022. Win denied the allegations, and in a statement admitted to “consensual relationships outside of my marriage,” saying, “my wife is aware – our marriage has, in the past, been more unconventional than some.”
