Kele Okereke on Bloc Party exit: 'WTF?'

Kele Okereke has joked about being a judge on an America's Next Top Model-style competition to find his replacement as Bloc Party frontman.

The group confirmed earlier today that Okereke had left the band and that they would continue without him.

In a post on his official blog titled 'Oh dear', he linked to a story about Bloc Party auditioning for a new singer

"Hmm, i dont know what to make of this (sic)," he said. "A big part of me is laughing on the inside but another part of me is all like WTF?

"Im quite curious though, as to what a bloc party audition would be like? i wonder if they would let me sit on the panel so i could be a judge tyra banks style?"

Guitarist Russell Lissack had previously said that the rest of the band "wanted to meet up and make music" while Okereke continued his solo career.

"We were talking about just doing an instrumental thing," he said. "But now we might get a singer as well, to properly put some music out and play some shows."

Okereke releases solo EP The Hunter on October 31, following last year's album The Boxer. He previously admitted to being unsure about his future in the band.

In April, Lissack claimed that he had reunited with Okereke after a two-year break and that Bloc Party were "going to get back properly in September and sit in a rehearsal studio to work on new band material".
