The Xx lose a member, continue on as a trio..

From PF:

About a month ago The Xx had been forced to cancel a few shows due to exhaustion. The band had played a London show without keyboardist-guitarist Baria Qureshi, the exhausted party in question, but they were all set to resume their busy touring schedule after a few nights off. However, that didn't happen.

Last night, The Xx played New York's Bowery Ballroom, and Qureshi was again absent. The band's label rep confirmed what had already been widely rumored: Qureshi hasn't returned to the band, and they're now a trio. At the moment, the band is still scheduled to tour heavily between now and March.

Tis' a shame, but I have no doubts about this band going on strong and only getting better as time progresses, do yourself a favor and buy their debut album NOW.
