ROUGH Copy will have to complete the X Factor tour as a duo after band member Kazeem Ajobe was asked to leave following a 'backstage incident'.
Kazeem, 25, from Addiscombe, was asked to leave after reports suggested there was a heated argument backstage.
His bandmates, Sterling Ramsay and Joey James, will continue to perform on the tour but Kazeem is still believed to be a part of the band and will continue to work with the group outside of their X Factor commitments.
The trio came fourth in this year's show and headlined a huge homecoming show at Fairfield Halls in December with fellow Croydon act Hannah Barrett.
It had taken Rough Copy, who are followed by their loyal 'Roughians', a lot of work to get to that stage after Kazeem experienced Visa issues in previous competitions.
He was allowed to join the Gary Barlow-coached band in the final stages of the competition despite not travelling to America for the judges' houses part of the competition.
The next gig takes place in Liverpool tonight and the tour concludes in Birmingham on March 29.
