Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson has bemoaned the behaviour of some fans who try to drive the band apart.
Wilson claims he still is not entirely comfortable with the band's media portrayal, and in particular he feels awkward when people direct more attention on him personally over the other members.
"You never get used to all the attention away from being on stage," he said. "People will say or do anything to try and elicit a negative response from you, and it can get to you."
He added that a number of fans have been campaigning for him to start a solo career, and he is often the band member with the most public focus. "People are always shouting, 'Ricky! We want Ricky on his own!' It's like they want to cause a rift between us and get us to split. It can make you paranoid."
