Franz Ferdinand guitarist Nick McCarthy quits band
Statement says McCarthy wants to take time off to be with his family.
Franz Ferdinand have announced that their next album won’t feature guitarist Nick McCarthy, who is leaving the band to spend time with his family.
The band said: “We’d love to be able to say this is a result of personal or musical differences, but it’s not. Those differences are what we formed the band around in the first place.”
Despite the split, the band haven’t ruled out a return for McCarthy in the future, stating that the door is always open for one of the founding members of the band, which formed in 2002.
