KASABIAN - KASABIAN GUITARIST KICKED OUT

KASABIAN guitarist/keyboardist CHRIS KARLOFF has been kicked out of the band, because of "artistic differences". The British rockers - due to support THE ROLLING STONES at a forthcoming gig - have posted a statement on their website explaining the split. It reads, "Chris Karloff and Kasabian have parted company. "Karloff and the band experienced certain creative and artistic differences during the writing and recording of their second album. "These irreconcilable and diverging approaches resulted in the band asking Karloff to leave the group. Karloff will pursue a musical career elsewhere."
