Oztix | News | Nothing But Thieves Deny Sexual Assault Allegations

UK outfit Nothing But Thieves have taken to Twitter to deny allegations of sexual assault, just weeks before they are due in Australia for a string of tour dates.

The exact nature of the alleged assault is yet to be made public.

"The past week has been one of the most difficult of our careers," a statement released by the band reads.

"Being falsely accused of sexual assault in a public forum, having these false allegations made about you and people immediately believing them hurts.

"It hurts us as individuals, as a band, hurts our mums and dads, our girlfriends and friends, our business colleagues, our fans, and most of all, it hurts victims of abuse who are telling a true story."

Nothing But Thieves went on to say they "100% deny any wrong doing".

"We have the utmost respect for women and would never treat them in the ways that we have been accused of.

"We are deeply sorry to anyone who has been upset by these allegations, and want to reassure you they are totally false."

Nothing But Thieves are set to support Muse's Australian tour next month, as well as perform three headline shows.
