Tee hee! Silly headline! Arctic Monkeys bassist quits for America
The fat one out of Crazy Frog-influenced four-piece Arctic Monkeys (not pictured, following the recent government legislation proclaiming that overweight celebrities should be censored as they set a bad example for children) has opted out of the band's North American jaunt, booked for June.
Confirming the earlier internet rumours in a statement, Nick O' Malley will be standing in for Andy Nicholson.
"Owing to fatigue following an intensive period of touring, Andy Nicholson shall be taking a rest and will not be accompanying Arctic Monkeys on their forthcoming tour of North America, Nick O'Malley shall be standing in for Andy on the tour which begins in Vancouver on May 27th. We all wish Andy a speedy recovery."
Rumours that the band are secretly plotting to start their own label and sign Crazy Frog rival Sweety the Chick have been neither confirmed nor denied.
Don't worry, Mike's back tomorrow.
Well its a story!
Touring is poo at times - perhaps its time to 'do a beatles' for them?
shoot the singer ?
;)
he's
not overweight, he's just big boned.
booo
i wish the arctic monkeys fell out if the sky in the congo and never got out, pile of shit
Mark Moore=
God
The headline should have been
'Arctic Chunkeys' :)
Well, its no worse than that crap monkey/tree effort, and is slightly more poetic that "Fat one off of Arctic Monkeys stays at home"
they're shite...
no one will notice chunky monkey isn't there anyway. it's all about the singer and the lyrics either his Dad or the chap out of Television Personalities have written for him. great lyrics, but I believe the rumours...how could a teenager who can't string 2 words together in an interview write lyrics like a modern day Dylan.
christ
the guy isn't a modern day Dylan. He's barely a modern day Steely Dan.
aw c'mon
are all gifted writers also gifted public speakers? don't be daft mun, go around saying that and people will think you're soft in the head.
./..
Oh and Dylan is WELL TALKATIVE, isn't he?
Sort yer life out mate.
Quelle Surprise
Left-field band makes it big and a bunch of cooler-than-thou student twats have to put the boot rather than admit that, actually, they're really very good.
And to the gobshite who made the Dylan slur - come back when you've got some evidence, you bigotted, envious, sneering, self-satisfied, snobbish little turd
.
At least he's not quitting the band. If he needs a rest, he needs a rest.
