Nick Hodgson reunites with his former Kaiser Chiefs bandmates as they perform for the first time together in over a decade


The former drummer and songwriter, 47, quit the band in December 2012 in order to 'pursue new challenges'.

He said: 'After 15 years with the band and having achieved such amazing things thanks to the support and loyalty of our fans, I have decided to leave and turn my attention to other areas within the world of music and to pursue new challenges. The I Predict a Riot hitmakers then issued an official statement insisting Nick's departure wouldn't affect their plans as a group and their scheduled UK tour in February and March 2013 will still go ahead. The Kaiser Chief frontman, 46, opened up about the highs and lows of fame admitting radio is now 'not only a joy' but also a 'three-hour mental workout, five days a week' for him (pictured in 2019)
