@TKK; Luke Pritchard heeft een tijdje geleden naar buiten gebracht dat kwam omdat Max een drugs verslaving had. Hier is een artikel waarin hij het zegt:

LUKE PRITCHARD has told how former bassist MAX RAFFERTY left THE KOOKS because of his battle with drugs.

This is the first time the frontman has lifted the lid on Max quitting in January.

The singer said: “He was struggling with various issues – his anxieties and taking drugs probably a lot more than he should have been doing or wanted to be doing.”

And he revealed Max failed to turn up several times during the recording of their new album, Konk – the long-awaited follow-up to their hit debut Inside In/Inside Out.

He told Orange World: “Max was in and out for a long time and we kind of made the decision that we wanted to carry on without him.

“Things got a bit much for him, I think. Not to get some f****** violin out . . . but it can be really difficult being in a band, especially when you’re like that.”

I was beginning to enjoy Luke’s honesty until he said that. Don’t give me that “it’s difficult being in a band” crap.

Millions of people would love to swap places with them.

Anyway, Luke continued: “Max is the greatest guy in the world. But he just didn’t really know how to stop.”

Max has been replaced by the band’s friend Dan Logan from Brighton band Cat the Dog. 

Verder vind ik Konk echt een heel goed album en ook RAK (b-sides) vind ik erg fijn en ik luister er echt heel veel naar. Wat vinden jullie van Konk? (:
