Kingsland Road member leaves band: 'We'll always remain a tight unit'

Kingsland Road have lost a member.

The group's singer Jay Scott has called time on the pop world, with the news announced on Wednesday (October 22).

The boyband rose to fame as finalists on the 2013 UK X Factor and they said in a statement:

"Jay's come to the decision that he wants to take a break from everything and has realised that the boyband life isn't really for him. We have been giving him constant support and have given him this last week to sleep on his decision in the hope he would change his mind.

"Only Jay can explain how he feels but we, as his brothers, support him wholeheartedly. Everyone deserves to be happy."

Scott himself said: "I love my boys sooooooooo much that words can't ever explain & I want to take the time to thank Josh, Connor, Thomps & Matt for being the bestest friends I could ever have made in life.

"You've ALWAYS been there for me & no matter what we've been through, we've always remained such a tight unit & WILL 100% remain that way until we're using walking sticks! We've gone past "best friends" - you're literally my brothers but just with different mothers haha. I LOVE YOU <3."

The band added that Scott had decided to sit out some recent gigs.
