Rab Allan,  the band's guitarist and cousin of James, told the Daily Record newspaper that he had not been seen since Friday, when the band flew to Glasgow from a festival appearance in Italy: "He had been saying for ages that he needed a break. Everyone is panicking." Rab continued: "We're not supposed to talk about it. He has been working really, really hard. "I miss him. The message is: 'Please get in touch'."   After joking that the singer was suffering from crabs, Mr Allan said: "No, he's unwell so he can't be here."
