Borrell fuels Razorlight break-up rumour

Monday, October 15 2007, 15:03 BST

 

Johnny Borrell has fuelled speculation that Razorlight could be on the verge of splitting up by performing with Lily Allen on Friday.

 

The frontman made the surprise acoustic performance at the Paradise Pub in London.

 

The Sun reports that Borrell has been planning to break away from the rest of the band and make his own album. Rumours have been circulating since he began playing a number of solo shows earlier this year.

 

A source said: "It’s been on the cards for a while because no one can stand working with him.

 

"The band are on the brink of splitting up - everybody just wants to move on now."

I hope not :(

 

 

I hope not :(

 

Well theres nothing official yet, so it might not happen. Rumours like this have been circulating for ages. Many people thought they'd split before their second album :rolleyes:

Well, if they can just find a new lead singer I won't have an excuse to hate them anymore ^_^

Hmm it wouldn't suprise me if this did happen tbh. There's always been rumours circulating, but they've always been blown out of proportion.

 

It would not suprise me in the slightest though, if it's another 2 maybe 3 years for next Razorlight album after they take a "break" and in that time Johnny will release a solo album.

I wonder what lyrical delights he shall treat us to about himself then? -_-

Well nothing has materialised on the official site. Infact, theyve got a TV appearance coming up and theyve just announced more tour dates so it doesnt look like there was any substance in this rumour ^_^

 

RAZORLIGHT LIVE ON

RAZORLIGHT LIVE ON

 

Of cause nothing has materialised on the website :o Nobody will admit to there split (If there is one) :unsure:

 

And I will have to see about the performace on Saturday :( If the band look 'Together' :unsure:

Oh bollocks, I take back what I just said. Just found this on fametastic.co.uk :(

 

Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell is reportedly thinking of disbanding the group in favour of a solo career.

 

A source told the Sun that Johnny has been telling friends he plans to make an acoustic album on his own and is lining up other musicians to work with: “Johnny knows he has a solo career ahead. People say he’s got the stage presence of someone like Mick Jagger and it’s gone to his head.”

 

“He’s already in talks with other musicians about his solo career and the rest of the band are preparing for a change.”

 

“It’s been on the cards for a while because no one can stand working with him. The band are on the brink of splitting up anyway - everybody just wants to move on now.”

 

:(

Or maybe not :o

 

A source has told DiS that rumours of Razorlight's impending demise are much exaggerated.

 

Reports yesterday in the press claimed that Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell's recent live appearance with Lily Allen and another "unidentified" woman was a sign that the band would soon go their separate ways; with a Tabloid 'insider' profferring the opinion that: “It’s been on the cards for a while because no one can stand working with him."

 

“The band are on the brink of splitting up – everybody just wants to move on now.”

 

Not true, says our well-placed source; who also identifies the mystery woman as Florence and the Machine's Florence Welch:

 

"Johnny was well up for this and came down to play an acoustic set with some friends of his - Florence and the Machine - who are releasing an album soon - they played Johnny Cash covers, some new tracks, 'Hotel Yorba, 'To Be a Pilgrim' but no Razorlight stuff.

 

"Lily Allen was there but she only came down with her friend Miquita Oliver from T4 to watch Johnny and, I hope, case the joint as she showed interest in playing one of the nights soon. She didn't get on stage to sing harmonies as The Sun and Jo Wiley on Radio have suggested but had a sing along from the crowd."

 

How much credit you give our 'well-placed source' as opposed to the Sun's insider is up to you, of course. But we'd advise that sadly, for now, the suggestion is of one mess cleared up

 

:dance:

Well it'll keep us going anyways ^_^

Bassist Carl Dalemo Denies Razorlight Split

 

Razorlight bassist Carl Dalemo has denied the British rockers are planning to split - insisting the press are always making up rumours of trouble in the band.

 

The America hitmakers were rumoured to be planning to go their separate ways, amid speculation of a rift between frontman Johnny Borrell and drummer Andy Burrows.

 

But Dalemo claims the stories are pure nonsense, insisting the group is currently in the process of working on their forthcoming third album.

 

He says, "We are due to start recording the new album at the end of the month. But I don't think the new album will make any difference to the rumours that we are splitting up.

And the rumours start all over again, despite the fact they're due to start recording the 3rd album :rolleyes:
