WednesdayB次元官网网址檚 move by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences came after the release of the bandB次元官网网址檚 statement addressing claims of impropriety involving young fans.

B次元官网网址淲e realize the life of a touring band is an unconventional one,B次元官网网址� reads the statement.

B次元官网网址淲hile we are all now either married or have entered into committed, long-term relationships, there was a time, in the past, when we engaged in a lifestyle that incorporated certain rock B次元官网网址榥B次元官网网址� roll cliches. However, there was always a line that we would never cross.B次元官网网址�

The band said they B次元官网网址渞espect and applaud the #MeToo movementB次元官网网址� and say it is especially important within the music industry, B次元官网网址渨hich does not exactly have an enviable history of treating women with the respect they deserve.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淲e appreciate the bravery of those who have come forward with their own stories, and we realize that all of us, as individuals and as a society, can and must do better when it comes to this issue,B次元官网网址� says the statement.

B次元官网网址淗owever, if we are to have a meaningful, open and honest discussion, we all have to accept and respect that there are at least two sides to every story. The recent allegations against us posted on social media are simply unsubstantiated and have not been validated. We would hope that people will bear-in-mind the context in which these unsupported accusations have been made before passing judgment on us as individuals or as a band.B次元官网网址�
