Mumford & Sons banjoist and guitarist Winston Marshall took to Twitter on Tuesday to apologize for praising journalist Andy Ngo and promoting his new book exposing the far-left movement known as Antifa. Marshall apologized to those he “offended.”
“Over the past few days I have come to better understand the pain caused by the book I endorsed,” Winston Marshall wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. “I have offended not only a lot of people I don’t know, but also those closest to me, including my bandmates and for that I am truly sorry. As a result of my actions I am taking time away from the band to examine my blindspots.”
“For now, please know that I realise how my endorsements have the potential to be viewed as approvals of hateful, divisive behaviour. I apologise, as this was not at all my intention,” the guitarist added.

Coward. Never ever back down from these villains.
This won’t make me stop listening to Mumford & Sons’s music.
Because I never started listening to it in the first place.
Tell that to SCOTUS.
Another satisfied fan. LOL!
Aren’t they trash collectors?
I thought Mumford and Son went off the air in the late 70s, early 80s? Redd Foxx is still alive???
The PDNHM crowd, which are many. They’ve been sniveling in response to everything from Moslems to PantyWaists.
They are protecting themselves from the real terrorists in this country. I would bet lots that if you were a fly on the wall for the conversations and calls they got after this came up involved safety for the band and crew.
You are allowed to vilify patriots as terrorists, but you are censored and cancelled if you expose the fake civil rights and the anarcho-communist groups for their mass intimidation of public and especially corporate groups.
Unreal.
I wonder what kind of threats have to be being made, to skeeeer these Woke-Supremists/wokenistas (lol) into these flimsy, absurd apologies.
I never heard of Mumford and Sons. Is it supposed to be Mothers and Sons, the Next Gen iteration of the Mothers of Invention?
I prefer the sound of a dentist’s drill.
ANTIFA which began as Anti First Amendment and Speech is Violence, see Occupy Wall Street. Is for the most part a large group of disgruntled yutes with mountains of student loan debt and advanced degree’s in Gender Studies, lesbian Dance Theory or Underwater Basket Weaving. In other words, Stupid and Gullible, now they are displeased with their life choices.
It’s amazing - another convert!! The leftists got to him. This cancel culture is very effective for the leftists-converting conservative thinkers everyday.
Why does everyone make any comments at all, when all everyone does is apologize for the comment they just made. Just don’t say anything to begin with and avoid looking like spineless wimps.
Musicians are collectively the biggest bunch of dipshits in the world.
I guess Mr. Marshall just got a real live dose of what Mr. Ngo wrote about.
You’re thinking of Sanford & Son. Mumford & Sons are more like trash producers.
Buy Andy’s book
