As a result of this, Hookworms dropped Nervous Conditions from an all-day event they had curated at Leeds' Brudenell venue.
Nervous Conditions promised that Connor Browne would respond, and the singer has now placed a statement of his own online.
He says: "The accusations fill me with sadness and horror, as they don’t fit with my memory, how I try to lead my life and what I believe my character to be."
"There was a period in my life, a few years ago, where I was experimenting with alcohol, in a what I now understand to be an irresponsible way. This is not an excuse, but possibly an explanation for my behaviour as a teenage boy – for which I must and do take full responsibility. It upsets me deeply to learn that I may have hurt people I cared about very much."
