Tom Chaplin of Keane to go solo

The Keane frontman, who slammed modern pop music earlier this year, has never done anything away from the band but is hard at work on his new project, telling the Daily Star about the solo effort.

"When I release my songs it will be as a solo project. In Keane we know what we do best and what our roles are, so it’d make sense for me to put my songs out separately to the band.”

No need to worry Keane fans, Tom assures us that the band are going nowhere!
