The K’s, a fourpiece band from Earlestown, announced to their social media followers of Jordan Holden, the band’s drummer, making the decision of leaving the band "at least for the time being."

Addressing the drummer’s departure, the statement read: "We are absolutely gutted to have to announce that, at least for the time being, Jordan has made the decision to take a step back from the band.

The band also posted a tear-jerking message directly to Jordan which read: "Our dreamboat. We fully understand and support your decision and the reasoning behind it.

"We have had an absolute blast for the past four years and since the day you walked in that rehearsal room we never once looked back.

"One day maybe the stars will align, and you’ll be back where you belong.

"Until then, you will always be the best friend, drummer, and brother anyone could ever wish for.

"We love you brother."

The band, who have done the rounds and supported big names such as Liam Gallagher and Brian Adams, have received a flood of support from fans following the news of Jordan leaving the band.
