Muse.

[Maude]

Eight albums, I've just checked. That was my first thought as well 😉

he's always on the p1ss where I live (along with the drummer), should have stayed in a few more nights.

Chris W is already divorced.

[AndyTravis]

I was thinking Richard Jones from stereophonics...do they still describe themselves as a three piece these days?
 

There are so few bands who’ve actually made any money in recent times it’s just like “guess who”. 
 

surprising they’ve give out enough detail for people to guess...weird.

The frequent use of 'was' suggests this person isn't in the band anymore...

[BrunoBass]

If it’s CW I surprised his fortune isn’t more actually. 

I did think of RJ too but his band’s made a few more than seven albums.

Feeder?

[mep]

11 studio albums for Sterophonics so count them out.

The UK press isn't know for it's accuracy.

I'd guess the meat of the story about the divorce and the settlement are broadly true, but the details like '8 albums' and '3 piece band' could well be wrong or cut and pasted from an old biography the reporter found online, so trying to guess who it is based on that information could be a futile exercise.

This could also be a settlement decision from a divorce some time ago.

BTW i would also throw in Alex James as a possible. He is rumoured to have split from his partner (wife?) per t'internet. No idea about album count and apologies if I am wrongly spreading fake news gossip.

Ah. Really? I stopped paying attention after the third.

[AndyTravis]

Biffy Clyro?

[steantval]

Thought it could have been Nicky Wire, but I’m sure he is still happily married.

[Maude]

Oh stinky poo, it's not me is it? 😳 😄

In other news, someone somewhere did a thing. And now for the weather...

To be honest that's how I view most news.

I started giving this some thought, then realised I don't really care and it’s none of my business. 
 

Here’s Tom with the weather.

Chris cleaned up quite a few years ago now. 

[Bassfinger]

Not bad, 5 million for simply having been married to someone.

Now his missus has done the same 😄

Any bass player making that kind of money will also be a songwriter.

When I got divorced the judge said my ex-wife was entitled to 20% of my earnings from music. I replied "so how much will she owe me?"
