Razorlight drummer quits group

Andy Burrows has reportedly walked out of Razorlight following a major clash with lead singer Jonny Borrell.

The pair had been locked in a series of bitter arguments during a promotional tour of America and Burrows decided to quit the group last night, according to The Sun.

"Andy has had enough of Johnny. They've always had a turbulent relationship - not least over who was behind their number one single 'America'," a source told the newspaper.

"But it was this recent trip to the States that brought everything to a head.

"Andy is fed up with what he views as Johnny's prima donna behaviour and told him he doesn't want anything to do with him anymore."

Burrows reportedly grew frustrated with Borrell continually seeking to take credit for the group's success.

"Johnny likes to think he is the sole driving force behind Razorlight's success," the source added.

"But Andy doesn't see it that way. He co-wrote 'America', their only number one, and feels he never gets the recognition he deserves. Andy is the only one in the band who will stand up to Johnny.

"He gets really embarrassed when he thinks Johnny is acting up and tells him as much. Johnny doesn’t appreciate the criticism."

Razorlight have hired drummer David 'Skully' Sullivan-Kaplan for their US promotional tour.
