The Untold Truth Of Mumford & Sons

Since arriving on the scene in 2009, the British folk rock band Mumford & Sons has gone on to become one of the biggest musical acts in the world, selling millions of albums, winning Grammys, and spearheading a whole retro musical movement. Members Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, Ted Dwane, and former member Winston Marshall have broken down barriers and melted hearts around the globe.
But not everyone loves their work. They have been accused of appropriation and inauthenticity by some, and Marshall had to quit the band after getting mired in political controversy. And their forays into world music have alienated some fans that would rather see them stick to their old sound. Here's the untold truth of Mumford & Sons.

[@melissasmidt222]

Winston needs to return, his mates need to stand behind him.

[@suckieduckie]

They ditched him for supporting And Ngo right? What a scummy move by them.

[@valkyriesardo278]

@@suckieduckie The band caught flack for being "far right" because Marshall tweeted admiration for the author of a book. Marshall withdrew the tweet and then withdrew from the band. I have no respect for the fans nor for the band who ought to have told them to go pound sand. The author is Andy Ngo and the book exposed Antifa. Andy Ngo does not call himself "far right" and antifa is anything but anti-fascist. Marshall was wise to walk away from their stupidity and lack of spine. You cannot teach a pig to sing.

[@djmfilms1999]

It’s crazy how you voice your opinion and how quick things can end it’s very tragic as I just got into pretty heavily recently 😕

[@suckieduckie]

@@djmfilms1999 You're right it's a bloody tragedy. Especially since Andy Ngo has only documented lunatics.

[@nickfernandez7563]

It’s incredibly frustrating to see Winston leave the band under the circumstances. I saw the outrage first hand on Twitter and it was appalling how quick ‘fans’ were to attack him for simply congratulating Andy Ngo. One thing this video left out was that the far left idiots were sending death threats and seeking to physically harm the gents and their families of Winston didn’t leave. It’s unfortunate. I hope he rejoins and we can all go back to normal

[@melissasmidt222]

Normal will never return.

[@blackmore4]

@@melissasmidt222 It's true. Something very weird is in the air. Until recently, I always considered myself to be a hard-core liberal with an entirely reasonable and near zen-like approach to resolving differences. However, almost certainly due to logic and data being deemed completely worthless in this era, my hatred for woke lunatics and their logic free agenda has become visceral. I feel as toddler stroppy and potentially violent as them.

[@melissasmidt222]

@@blackmore4 I, wholeheartedly agree with your comment. I don't believe there are many "woke lunatics", not nearly what "they" want us to believe. I also believe, the weird thing in the "air" is a complete fabrication, although it's unfortunately working. It's hard to put into words...However, it's as if "they" are attempting to divide everyone on a visceral level. Beyond Orwellian with a huge dose of parathymia. Why, is the real question.

I love Mumford and Sons. I’ve seen them four times in concert and have purchased three of their albums on Apple Music. It’s so disheartening to me that they turned their back on Winston Marshall. A man they loved and respected. I will never support them ever again…

[@annethomsen7648]

Winston pull .out himself he resigned. They wanted him to stay. . saying someone is brave for writing a controversial book was true.. Dosen't mea he agrees with what was written. ...

[@silverstargaming20]

What do I think about Mumford & Sons? They make real music. Modern music is atrocious today, I hope Win joins the band again.

[@KC-jq9kw]

I am just very let down that the band is so spinless. I had thought that they all had great values, but if your band mate only gives his honest opinion on something, and he has to leave the band over it, then something is wrong with your ethics, not his. You have to stand for something, especially for your friends and family. I was once fired from a six figure job for taking a harassment issue to the top. I wasn't the one being harassed either, and wasn't friends with the person being harassed. It just got under my skin, and it was wrong. I was a manager, and so was the other guy, so they just fired me. I just left and got another job, but knew it was the right thing to do. How do you turn your back on Winston? They should move on with him, support him, and let it blow over and show their strength and support for each other as a group.

And Mumford and Sons had no problem using that money to get the band going, but quickly cut him to the curb when it got tough. No values. Not real friends. I can't even imagine how Winston feels. You realize your band mates aren't really true friends, you aren't in a band anymore, etc. He is still a good and talented man. The only one in the group with values.
