Max Rafferty, bass player in The Kooks, has parted company with the Brighton band.

In a statement, the band said that they would be continuing with their forthcoming tour plans.

“Dan Logan, bassist with local Brighton band Cat The Dog will be filling in for the short term,” they said.

Rafferty’s departure is not the first time he has left the group. A previous split from his band members was blamed on “illness”.
