The Paléo Festival in Nyon says it will no longer invite French singer Patrick Bruel, after a former volunteer accused him of inappropriate behaviour.
The decision follows a report on French television in which a volunteer masseuse described the singer's conduct during a session at the 2019 edition.
She filed a complaint but later withdrew it under an agreement between the parties. Paléo says it believes and supports the volunteer.
Bruel, who denies all the accusations against him, is due to tour Switzerland next month, with dates in Pully, Fribourg and Geneva.
None of those concerts has been cancelled, despite a petition with nearly 6,000 signatures.
