The Kooks: 'Bassist's departure was down to drugs'
Band open up about Max Rafferty's decision to leave:
The Kooks have blamed bassist Max Rafferty's recent departure on his drug addiction.
Rafferty left the Brighton rockers a few months after returning to the band following a bout of illness.
As previously reported on NME.COM, the band said they considered splitting when the bassist quit in January.
Singer Luke Pritchard told Orange: "Max was in and out for a long time and we kind of made the decision that we wanted to carry on without him. Things got a bit much for him, I think.
"He was struggling [with] various issues [including] his anxieties and taking drugs probably a lot more than he should have been doing or wanted to be doing.
"Not to get some fucking violin out, but it can be really difficult being in a band, especially when you're like that. Max is the greatest guy in the world but he just didn't really know how to stop."
