Oxbow guitarist Niko Wenner issues statement following Eugene Robinson's exit
Following the exit of Oxbow vocalist Eugene Robinson, guitarist Niko Wenner shared a brief statement. In the statement Wenner vaguely addresses "a recent allegation" as well as Robinson's exit and confirms Oxbow, for the time being, is no longer a band.
The statement reads:
Niko Wenner, Oxbow update.
An accusation was leveled at me, Niko, during our 2024 European Tour.
It's probably not appropriate for me to give details since the allegation is still unresolved. The alleged incident, said to have occurred in a crowd, involved only myself and the person making the accusation. None of the others in Oxbow were there.The accusation led to the cancellation of the last 4 shows of our tour, all in France.
I have always greatly enjoyed playing in France and I apologize to anyone who had intentions of seeing us there.Eugene Robinson has at least for now left the band, as he has already made public in his latest substack article.
As it stands now Oxbow as a band no longer exists. Whether this is a permanent state of affairs remains to be seen.
