Arctic Monkeys bass player Andy Nicholson has pulled out of the band's upcoming tour of North America due to fatigue.
According to a statement posted on the band's official website, Nicholson will not be joining the band for any of the dates on their tour of North America and will be replaced by Nick O'Malley for the scheduled concerts.
The statement said: "Owing to fatigue following an intensive period of touring, Andy Nicholson shall be taking a rest and will not be accompanying Arctic Monkeys on their forthcoming tour of North America."
"Nick O'Malley shall be standing in for Andy on the tour which begins in Vancouver on May 27. We all wish Andy a speedy recovery."
Arctic Monkeys recently completed 44 dates in the UK after the record-breaking success of their debut album 'Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not', which became the fastest-selling debut album of all time.
