Tame Impala will no longer be signing things due to “rise of aggressive autograph hounds”

Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker has told fans he will no longer be signing autographs after learning that “aggressive” hounds were “using kids” as a tactic to get signatures. Parker is currently out on the North American leg of the ‘Deadbeat’ arena tour, and took to Instagram Stories this morning (September 8) to share a “quick PSA” with fans about some changes he’d be making going forward. “Due to the rise of aggressive autograph hounds, I won’t be signing anything or doing photos out the front of hotels or at airports at all anymore, so if you happen to catch me, please don’t be offended if I say no,” he wrote. Parker said his hand has been forced, adding that while he “wasn’t that passionate about it before”, some autograph hounds had “started using kids, which I think is all kinds of wrong.” Parker also added that he “won’t be coming out after shows to meet fans in the parking lot for the time being” due to security concerns, and concluded by saying: “So please have the best time at the shows and get home safe! See you tomorrow Portlandddd (don’t wait up).” 📌 Tame Impala agora tem uma política para fotos e autógrafos. Confira a tradução do comunicado publicado por Kevin Parker via s...
