THE ZUTONS star RUSSELL PRITCHARD was so devastated when former bandmate BOYAN CHAUDHURY left the British rock band, he broke down in tears.
Bassist Pritchard - who has been with the Valerie hitmakers since forming in 2001 - claims the group's split with guitarist Chaudhury in 2007 was mutual, but insists the departure was just as emotional as the end of a romance.
Pritchard says, "When we lost Boyan last year it was like splitting up with someone.
"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."
Chaudhury was replaced by multi-instrumentalist Paul Molloy.
