Nick Jago has been reinstalled as the drummer of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club following that previously reported split in Sep of last year, and has recently been working with guitarist Peter Hayes and bassist Robert Turner on one of the songs from their new album.
Talking to NME.com, Turner said the split had been due to "too many drugs, too much drama, too much internal bullshit and burnout". He went on to describe the experience of working on the album without Jago: "That was one of the reasons why making this album wasn't the greatest time we could have had - it was the best of times and the worst of times. We had fun making the record and experimenting and going to a whole new place that was kind of an adventure, but it was bittersweet because Nick wasn't with us. We didn't know what the future was going to hold. He needed some time to do his own thing and we properly fell apart for a little while. We lost the meaning of why we were doing what we were doing."
He continued: "We had one song left to do on the record and we dragged Nick back into the band and got him to record on one of the songs - 'Promise'. He's back in the band full on and we've been rehearsing every single fucking day from sun up to sun down."
