Neither source indicates the status of any formal investigation or legal proceedings in the text provided. The reports frame the change as a temporary roster adjustment for tour continuity, with Jabour stepping in as the guitarist for the dates affected by O’Connor’s departure. The band’s scheduled live activities continue with Jabour handling guitar duties for the remainder of the tour dates mentioned by the outlets.
