EMPIRE OF THE SUN - EMPIRE OF THE SUN'S STEELE FACES SOLO FUTURE

EMPIRE OF THE SUN'S STEELE FACES SOLO FUTURE

EMPIRE OF THE SUN singer LUKE STEELE is preparing to kick-off the duo's Australian tour on his own - he hasn't seen bandmate NICK LITTLEMORE for more than five months.
The electro pair was signed to headline a string of high profile festival events in its native Australia during September and October (09).
But Steele is set to face the crowds single-handed after Littlemore "disappeared" earlier this year (09).
The singer insists his musical partner walked away from the group, and he has only heard about rumoured sightings of his pal since.
He says, "He disappeared about five months ago and I haven't really heard from him. Last I heard he's in Canada and then he's in Vegas.
"I really don't know, hey. He's just left me with the baby. As my Dad always says, 'You've got to keep the show on the road.'"
Littemore will reportedly be fulfilling other commitments with another band, Pnau, at the time of the gigs.
