Parlophone have confirmed to NME.com that Idlewild bassist Bob Fairfoull has left the band for good. It had already reported that Fairfoull had dropped out of the band’s forthcoming tour, replaced by bass technician Alex Grant. Now the band’s label has said: "Unfortunately, due to personal problems, Bob Fairfoull will no longer continue to play bass in Idlewild. The band will continue with their current dates and commitments until the end of the year with their guitar technician Alex Grant playing bass. Alex has worked with the band for more than two years and previously played bass in other bands. Idlewild are currently planning further dates in the UK, Australia and the US, and will announce a new band line-up in the near future"
