"and The Razorlights" prepare for life as ex-backing band

The Sun reports this morning that the inevitable solo Johnny Borrell career has edged nearer this week - we're picture something a bit like the Doomsday Clock, counting down the minutes.

Victoria Newton reckons he did a solo set - with a guest slot from Lily Allen, which shows you just how Seaside Special he's heading. The greatest detail, though, was that he was:

sporting a Shakespearean moustache and beard.

Sadly, no pictures of the beard appear to be online yet. We hope he expands to wear the full ruff. And white pantaloons.
