Mumford & Sons frontman has said that his debut solo single is about ‘the first of a string of unhealthy sexual experiences at a really early age’
Marcus Mumford pictured at the 2022 Met Gala.First published on Wed 10 Aug 2022 16.50 BST, has said that he was the victim of childhood sexual abuse.
Mumford’s parents were international leaders of the Vineyard Churches, a neocharismatic evangelical Christian denomination. He described what happened to him as a six-year-old as “the first of a string of really unusual, unhealthy sexual experiences at a really early age. And for some reason, and I can’t really understand why, I didn’t become a perpetrator of sexual abuse – although I’ve done my fair share of cuntish behaviour.”
The NSPCC praised Mumford for coming forward with his experiences. “Speaking out about child sexual abuse is a truly brave thing to do and Marcus Mumford has shown a great deal of courage in sharing his experiences publicly,” a spokesperson said.
