\n\tGeordie Greep is responding to sexual misconduct allegations made against him.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring his show in Vancouver on Thursday (Oct. 8), the former Black Midi frontman addressed accusations of rape after an individual outside the Pearl venue distributed flyers to concertgoers accusing him of sexual assault.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe flyers read, \u201cGeordie Greep A Rapist. You know what you did this morning Oct 8th. He thinks he can do what he wants. Let Him Know What Vancouver Thinks of Rapists.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGreep took the stage about an hour later than scheduled and performed without his backing band, addressing the flyers distributed outside the venue.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEssentially what happened last night, me and some of the band we went out to some bars, we went around, we met people, and it ended up in a situation where really late at a house party, I got the wrong end of the stick with someone who was there, and I made a move, and it didn\u2019t come off,\u201d Greep told the audience.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI really quickly, of course, apologized, and it was a complete misunderstanding on my part. I felt extremely bad, I feel extremely sorry, and extremely upset about the whole situation. I would never rape a woman. I\u2019m not a rapist. It\u2019s not how that went down.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGreep said he would perform the Vancouver concert solo because he \u201cdidn\u2019t want to force them to still play a show in the light of that happening.\u201d He also noted that proceeds from the show would be donated to an anti-violence organization in British Columbia.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe were unsure what the response would be to all this, and I can only tell you that it\u2019s okay if people want refunds, if they want to leave, it\u2019s fine,\u201d Greep continued. \u201cI just wanted to be transparent with you about what happened. I\u2019m very, very, very sorry. I made someone uncomfortable without meaning to. It\u2019s not a good thing, it\u2019s not good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Billboard<\/em> has reached out to Greep\u2019s representatives for further comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing the allegations, Greep canceled several dates on his current North American tour, including shows in Boise, Idaho, on Friday (Oct. 9), and Salt Lake City, Utah, on Saturday (Oct. 10). He also canceled upcoming concerts scheduled in Boulder and Denver, Colorado.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe final two dates of Greep\u2019s North American tour, scheduled for Des Moines, Iowa, and Omaha, Nebraska, had not been canceled at press time.<\/p>\n

\n\tGreep is also scheduled to embark on a European tour beginning Nov. 1 in the Netherlands, followed by shows in France, Spain and Portugal.<\/p>\n
