Arctic Monkeys Bassist Andy Nicholson has permanently left the band. The band posted this message on their
website:
We are sad to tell everyone that Andy is no longer with the band.
Nick O’Malley, who stood in for Andy while he was absent from the recent tour of North America, shall carry on playing bass for the remaining shows this summer.
We have been mates with Andy for a long time and have been through some amazing things together that no one can take away. We all wish Andy the very best.
Nicholson took a break from touring due to "
exhaustion." The band is continuing its US tour and will hit Europe and Australia later this summer.
