Bad Seed Quits Nick Cave
Mick Harvey, a founder member of Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds has announced his decision to leave the band.
Bad Seeds founder member Mick Harvey has quit the band after twenty five years. Harvey was a school friend of Nick Cave and Phil Calvert, another founder member of the Bad Seeds.
In a statement, the multi-instrumentalist, who has also famously collaborated with PJ Harvey, said:
“For a variety of personal and professional reasons I have chosen to discontinue my ongoing involvement with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. After 25 years I feel I am leaving the band as it experiences one of its many peaks; in very healthy condition, and with fantastic prospects for the future. I'm confident Nick will continue to be a creative force and that this is the right time to pass on my artistic and managerial role to what has become a tremendous group of people who can support him in his endeavours both musically and organizationally”.
