Scan from the entertainment section in THE SUN newspaper.

FANS were dismayed when The Verve split after the huge success of Urban Hymns. But it was time to move on for Richard Ashcroft as he became on of an elite group of British male rock stars who have broken up their much-loved bands and gone on to make top solo albums. Here sftw picks ten of the best...

  • It was a feature about Richard Ashcroft & they had a list of former band members with successful solo careers. But it wasn't a chart at all. And Moz just happened to be top.

  • Really, a fine example of inept filler isn't it? First, the implication that the demise of these bands was brought about by one member (except in the case of the Beatles, you'll note). Then, there's the denial of history. It was far from a personal fave, but I know enough about Genesis to say with certainty that the band sailed on for years after Peter Gabriel left. Bryan Ferry's These Foolish Things was released in September 1973 - between For Your Pleasure and Stranded - while Roxy Music was in full flight. And Every Picture Tells a Story... Good God! It was released the year BEFORE A Nod is as Good as a Wink.

    Just the sort of crap we've come to expect from The Sun.
