Arctic Monkeys Lose Bassist

2006-05-22 by Senor_Whippy | 18 Comments
The 19 year old Bassist and one of the group's founding members has apparently left band, according to NME.Com. The band are still expected to tour North American and Europe later this Summer but Nicholson won't be joining them. Reasons for why Nicholson left the group are still uncertain, though fan forums are saying that the news of Andy's departure isn't permanent and that Nicholson is only taking time off due to stress problems. An offical statement is to released later today from the band.

I think so too for a young guy who seems rather happy and has a successful career. But still this is NME we're talking about and they do overblowing things an awful lot. Am with the fan forums on this one. This Message Edited On 05.22.06

I like this band a bit. Not enough to buy a cd though. It sucks their bassist left though.

I don't like this band at all but I'm surprised the bassist left when they were getting so bloody big. I find this pretty hard to believe so I think I'd have to say the fans forum version gets my vote of confidence.

Well shoot I see them in 5 days. I wish I could see the full band but this doesn't stop me from being excited about seeing them. Plus its just the bassist, not like its the singer or something.

why did the P!ATD bassist leave? even all the hardcore people i know like them. there cool.

haha i bet the bassist for the arctic monkeys figured out that the singer is tone deaf and none of them have any clue how to play there instruments. (no offence to their fans, cuz there is good music from europe, mostly the piano rock)

but go ex bassist! way to open your eyes!

Aww...I thought that Andy Nicholson was really good! I hope he rejoins with the band soon, I love all the Arctic Monkeys' bass riffs.

What stress problems does a 19 year old smash hit suffer, that are great enough to forfeit his band?This Message Edited On 06.08.06
