'The Sticky Fingers hiatus has nothing to do with Thelma's relaying what happened and everything to do with Dylan's actions.'
Following yesterday’s news that Sydney band Sticky Fingers have gone on "indefinite hiatus", local artist Thelma Plum has released a statement confirming an altercation between herself and Sticky Fingers frontman, Dylan Frost, occurred on Friday evening.
As triple j reported last night, Sticky Fingers’ announcement came not long after Plum accused Frost of abusing her at a local pub on her private Facebook account.
"There was an incident between Thelma Plum and Dylan from Sticky Fingers on Friday night," the statement reads.
"It's worth mentioning that the Sticky Fingers hiatus has nothing to do with Thelma's relaying what happened and everything to do with Dylan's actions.

"This was always going to happen and it's a shame that Thelma has been drawn into what seems to have something that has been a long time coming.
"Taking responsibility for ones actions had to happen, it's up to them as a band and people to work towards a solution and Thelma won't put any more emotional labor into this.
"Thelma wishes Dylan the best with getting the help he needs."
The statement comes after Frost announced last night he has been suffering from mental illness having been diagnosed with bipolar schizophrenia last year.
