Keane Frontman treated for Drink & Drugs problems

[murray]

Keane frontman Tom Chaplin is being treated for drink and drug problems, the band have confirmed.

In a statement on the band's website, the 27-year-old said the time had come "to get the professional help I need to sort myself out".

It's always the quiet ones...

Linky McLink and the Link Bros.

The Independent ran a story about this at the weekend with the title saying he was suffering from 'exhaustion'.

Everyone knows that is a euphemism for drink and drug problems.

Pop stars these days eh Cant even do the whole drug thing properly.

Although this would explain why their album is shite.

[cubeadvance]

Everyone knows you can't make good music on drugs.

[K]

Judging by the average Keane song, I'd hazard a guess that the drugs in question are mogadon, valium, and some kind of powerful donkey tranquiliser.

[murray]

And if we are to believe that drugs have influenced the new album, then my only conclusion is that he must've been INJECTING SHIT.

[Dapple]

I bought the new Keane album yesterday and I'm not ashamed.

I am not ashamed. I am not ashamed.

If I repeat it often enough, maybe I'll believe it.

I think the only way to restore a modicum of credibility is to listen to some Kraftwerk or the Scratch Perverts' FabricLive mix each time I listen to Keane. And even that may not be enough.

The other band members said 'It's not surprising he's exhausted (wink). He's very energetic on stage'.

He's embarrassing! He waves about like a fat drunk. He's hardly Justin Hawkins (who has also admitted himself into rehab), is he?

[Looper]

The only good thing about Keane is the artwork for the new album. Yet even that is soiled by association.

[murray]

I liked their first album.

I liked their first album.

Same here.Its just disappointing that the follow up is a turgid pile of crap.

[MW_Jimmy]

Who's Keane Frontman?

[acidbearboy]

LOLZ!

[bignige]

Forget the drink & drugs, he needs to sort out his pie addicition first!

[Eighthours]

How long until liking Keane becomes cool, and I can admit that I like parts of the second album?

Drink & Drugs?

Who'd have thunk it, he seems about as lively as a tin of gray paint, I always presumed the only drug he'd been near was fucking paracetamol.

You guys are harsh.

The cherubic fucker sings in Keane - you're perfectly aware of the kind of music they peddle.

He's perfectly entitled to all the whisky, vodka, pills, crack, brown and DMT that gets put in front of him because, lets face it, if any of us were him, we'd fall into exactly the same trap just to get through a fucking gig and appear to enjoy it.

Poor guy.

[spacedinvader]

Just imagine how boring their music's going to be once he's clean

I'm straight-edge so I'm perfectly entitled to mocking.

Fatty fatty fatty!
