Mystery Jets’ Bassist Kai Fish Leaves The Band

, Mystery Jets bassist Kai Fish has left the band.

The website also reports that Fish had ‘hinted about his temptations to leave the band’ during their recording sessions in Texas.

Speaking of his decision to leave the band, the bass player commented: ‘It was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I sat down with the guys and said, ‘I’m finding being in the band really hard, but I’ll try my best to carry on.’ And I did, but feelings just don’t go away…”
