Burrows quits Razorlight
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 6 March 2009
Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows has quit the band, after five years on the job. He told NME: “The past five years in Razorlight have been an amazing experience. I am very proud of everything that myself, Johnny [Borrell], Carl [Dalemo] and Bjorn [Agren] have achieved together, but for personal reasons I have decided to leave the band. I will be pursuing other musical ventures”.
Frontman Johnny Borrell said: “Over the last two albums and five years Andy has been an integral part of Razorlight and we will miss him. From the day he walked into our rehearsal studio it was obvious that he was an amazing drummer and he’s contributed on many levels beyond that. He’s been a great player and a great friend and I think we’ll both always be proud of the music we’ve made together”.
Presumably Borrell will also miss Burrows’ ability to write hits like ‘America’. David Sullivan-Kaplan will reportedly replace Burrows on the band’s tour.
