Zutons Member Cried Over Guitarist Departure

The Zutons bassist Russell Pritchard has admitted that he cried upon hearing the news that former guitarist Boyan Chowdhury was to quit the band last year.

"When we lost Boyan last year it was like splitting up with someone," Russell told the Daily Record. "It set us back in a way and moved us forward, too. I had a little bit of a cry about it, I'm not ashamed to admit. It was hard confronting him about it."

Also in the interview, Russell said about the Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse cover version of his band's single 'Valerie', "I don't mind her version but I think ours is better. We play it the way it was written."

"We wouldn't cover one of her songs because we're not heavily into doing covers and it's not like we need to return a favour. We've done alright off our own releases."

The Zutons are readying the release of their new studio album 'You Can Do Anything' for this coming Monday, June 2nd.
