30. Another international musician who ruined his own career with alleged sexual assault was Sigur Rós drummer Orri Páll Dýrason. Artist Meagan Boyd accused Dýrason in an Instagram post of raping her in 2013. Dýrason denied the allegations but quickly left the band, writing on Facebook, “I will do anything in my power to get myself out of this nightmare, but out of respect for those actually suffering from sexual violence, I will not take that fight public.”
Dýrason never rejoined the band, which struggled in the wake of the allegations and also a tax evasion case, but finally released another album in June — without Dýrason and adding back in old keyboardist Kjartan “Kjarri” Sveinsson. Dýrason seems to have all but vanished from the public eye.
