Modest Mouse parts ways with guitarist amid alleged messages to underage fan
Modest Mouse has removed guitarist Simon O’Connor from its upcoming tour after allegations that he sent inappropriate messages to an underage fan, including a meme and a photo of a naked man. The messages reportedly surfaced on Reddit after the fan, who was days from turning 17, interacted with his posts. O’Connor apologized, claiming he wasn’t hacked and saying someone was messing with him, while the fan said she initially believed the account had been compromised. The band announced Seth Jabour will replace him on tour, which runs from Aug. 4 in Ojai to Oct. 23 in Sacramento.
