Luke Pritchard accuses Alex Turner of arrogance

Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard has called Arctic Monkeys and Alex Turner arrogant, recalling kicking Turner on stage and a failed attempt to reconcile in the studio.

Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard has accused Arctic Monkeys and Last Shadow Puppets singer Alex Turner of being arrogant, saying that he once had to kick Turner in the face during a gig.

Pritchard explained: "I had to kick Alex in the face because he was trying to pull the leads out of my guitar pedals while we were on stage. We had done so many shows back to back with them, and it just escalated".

He also said he had recently made a failed bid to reconcile their relationship: "I asked Alex if he wanted to have a bit of a jam in the studio, but he just turned his back and walked away. I suppose [Arctic Monkeys] are quite arrogant - but who can blame them. They've got a lot going for them".
