Erm, hello? Isn't that a bit like Queen carrying on without Freddie?

Oh.

That's a bit of a shocker!

He will be back in good time, they will all realize that they cant make any money without each other. Hope the bloke stays clean. I have seen this movie a million times. Singer, rehab, quits, solo effort=sucks=get back to the dinner table. Its all good drama that sets up the 3rd album. I love the band so I hope they come through.

In the aftermath of the news their record label has dropped them (Atlantic that is, not the Must Destroy imprint). It's really not good for them is it? A real shame.
