Andy Burrows has quit Razorlight after a huge bust-up with Johnny Borrell.
Burrows reportedly decided to leave the group after growing tired of the frontman's diva antics during a recent promotional trip to the US.
A source said: "Andy has had enough of Johnny. They've always had a turbulent relationship - not least over who was behind their number one single 'America'. Apparently, both Burrows and Borrell co-wrote the song.
The source told the Sun newspaper: "Johnny likes to think he is the driving force behind Razorlight's success but Andy doesn't see it that way. He feels he never gets the recognition he deserves and 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."
Johnny Borrell has always been a show pony and has always craved the attention, so this comes as no surprise to Music Universe. Just a shame it had to happen only one month before they tour Australia.
David 'Skully' Sullivan-Kaplan - who drummed for the band at a concert in Wolverhampton earlier this week - will replace Andy.
The Eagles are coming back to Australia. We ain't talking about that band from the 70's, we're talking about the only god dam Eagles one should know about. We're talking about the Eagles of Death Metal baby. So parents, lock up your daughters, because Jesse “Boots Electric” Hughes is bringing his Eagles Of Death Metal back to A town again.
Hughes and his sexy partner in crime Josh “Baby Duck” Hommes (aka lead singer of Queens Of The Stone Age) unleashed their third album 'Heart On' last year proving that they still have what it takes to make some of the sexiest, ass-shaking, foot-stomping rock n roll going around.
Get ready to have your socks blown off.

It’s certainly been a huge and jam packed 18 months for The Presets. Their second album release, 'Apocalypso' was epic. It sold a zillion copies, was plastered all over radio airwaves and television ads and built them a fanbase that has probably reached Mt Everest heights.

Keane are coming back to Australia this April. It’s been five years since they visited Australia and they've produced two albums during the period.
In 2008 Keane released their third album, 'Perfect Symmetry', which sold extremely well and no doubt gained them a few more fans across the world. They’ll play relatively intimate shows in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. No doubt about it, these shows will sell out.
Catch Keane at the following shows in April. Tickets on sale Friday 13 March.
Monday April 13 – Metropolis, Fremantle Thursday April 16 – Palace Theatre, Melbourne Friday April 17 – The Metro Theatre, Sydney Monday April 20 – The Tivoli, Brisbane
