James singer Tim Booth has left the band – but is happy for the band to continue without him.
After presenting their producer Brian Eno with a Q Special Award, Tim told PS: “I came to a decision over the summer that I wanted to leave on a high, I’ll be doing our December tour and that’s it.”
Insisting the split was amicable, Tim added: “The rest of the band can use the name James if they wish.”
