Well, goodbye Keane - it was nice knowing you. Ta-ta to your weepy piano epics and singer man with a face that takes up 65 percent of his body. It's over because Duncan James has said he likes you.

As if the underperformance of third album 'Perfect Symmetry' wasn't enough, having former Blue 'singer' and 'dancer' Duncan James put the compliment-shaped boot in has pretty much done for the East Sussex moan-mongers.

 

Here's what he had to say. As he starts to talk to Reveal magazine, you can almost hear Universal Music in the background tearing up Keane's record contract.

 

"I've experienced life in a boyband, so I'd love to know what it's like to be in a cool band like Keane. That would be wicked. I love Keane and their music."

 

Having Duncan's approval is basically the fast track to the dumper. You'd do less damage to your career if you put out a concept album tribute to the genius of Gary Glitter. With Fred West on percussion.
