“Everyone in the band is absolutely shocked, horrified and devastated by the news of the charges of Joe Seiders — we have immediately severed all ties with him,” the band statement said.

"As a group, we were horrified and in shock that it was pulling away. People started shouting and waving in panic to the guard who was some distance away," Mr Greenfield said.
