RUSSELL CROWE - PART-TIME ROCKER CROWE SLAMMED BY GRUNT BANDMATE

Actor and sometime rocker RUSSELL CROWE has been blasted by a former 30 ODD FOOT OF GRUNTS bandmate for lacking the courtesy to inform his colleagues he had decided to split the group.

Bassist GARTH ADAMS, who formed 30 Odd Foot Of Grunts with pal Crowe 12 years ago, was left aghast when he heard the band was no more by reading about it in a newspaper.

Adams says, "He didn't tell us he was going to do it.

"You'd think after all that time he would let us know personally, but no. I read about it in the newspapers.

"Once before he cancelled a tour and I heard about it on the radio. It's very disappointing but that's just the way he works."
