SNOW PATROL - LIGHTBODY APOLOGISES FOR SACKING MCCLELLAND

SNOW PATROL frontman GARY LIGHTBODY has apologised to his former bandmate MARK MCCLELLAND for kicking him out of the group. The CHASING CARS singer booted Snow Patrol co-founder MCClelland out of the band in March 2005, citing the "unexpected" pressures of stardom. Lightbody says, "It's a divorce. He was my brother for 10 years. It didn't work any more and I've been sorry every day since. "He has a right to be p**sed off with us, especially me."
