\n\tAfter more than two decades as both creative and life partners, Arcade Fire<\/a>\u2019s Win Butler<\/a> and R\u00e9gine Chassagne<\/a> have confirmed their separation. On Friday morning, the pair announced their split on Arcade Fire<\/a>\u2019s official Instagram<\/a>, adding that they \u201clook forward to seeing you on tour,\u201d even though the band currently has no scheduled concert dates.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey continue to love, admire and support each other as they co-parent their son,\u201d the message reads. It continues with the statement that their \u201cbond as creative soulmates will endure, as will Arcade Fire.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tButler and Chassagne became husband and wife in 2003 and welcomed their son in April 2013. Seven years later, Butler was publicly accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women who alleged they were victims of his emotional and sexual abuse. <\/p>\n

\n\tButler denied these allegations but did confess he\u2019d had extramarital relations with the people who came forward, but denied that any of them had been nonconsensual. Chassagne supported her husband throughout the scandal. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWin is my soulmate, my songwriting partner, my husband, the father of my beautiful boy,\u201d Chassagne said in a statement at the time. \u201cI know what is in his heart, and I know he has never, and would never, touch a woman without her consent, and I am certain he never did. He has lost his way and he has found his way back. I love him and love the life we have created together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tArcade Fire\u2019s last LP, \u201cPink Elephant,\u201d was released in May of this year. The band supported the release with the \u201cDon\u2019t Think About Pink Elephant Tour.\u201d <\/p>\n
