According to flyers handed out to fans at Geordie Greep's Vancouver show on October 8, the musician was accused of sexual assault. The flyers read, "You know what you did this morning Oct 8th," alleging Greep committed rape. His set was delayed by nearly two hours as he performed without his band. In Vancouver, Greep addressed the allegations, stating he was at a house party and made a move that didn't go as planned.
He apologized profusely, repeatedly emphasizing it was a complete misunderstanding and that he would never rape a woman. Following the incident, Greep canceled his remaining US tour dates in Boise, Salt Lake City, Boulder, and Denver, with ticket holders receiving notice via emails from the venues. His Omaha concert on October 14 has not yet been canceled.
Greep's European dates beginning next month are also uncertain at this time. For those who have experienced sexual abuse, resources are available at rainn.org or by contacting the National Sexual Assault Helpline at 1-800-656-4673.
