Killers to conduct “thorough investigation” following abuse claims against former tour crew
The Killers have said that they will conduct “a thorough investigation into past and present tour staff” in the wake of allegations made by sound engineer Chez Stock, who says that the band’s backstage team abused a woman during a 2009 US tour.Stock’s account of what she saw on that tour was originally shared in 2018 on the blog of former Nirvana sound engineer Craig Montgomery, but neither her nor the band’s name was stated at that time. Last week, however, she shared that post on Twitter naming the band as The Killers.She explains that she was early on in her career as a sound engineer at the time, and was the only woman working on the tour.
