The Arctic Monkeys plan to quit hometown for the Big Smoke

Posted on July 16, 2007 - Arctic Monkeys, Music

The four piece band - who all grew up in the Yorkshire city - may be forced
to move to London because they spend so much time there working.

Frontman Alex Turner told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “We haven’t spent a
great deal of time in Sheffield lately and maybe after this year we might
want to go somewhere else.

“Staying in Sheffield is not a deliberate anti-London thing. We’re not
afraid of living there, but it will be a real hassle not having our mothers
around to do our washing though.”

The 21-year-old rocker is also worried that Sheffield is his musical
inspiration, and fears his songwriting might be affected by the move.

He said: “I tried to write some stuff the other day in a hotel room and it
was just rubbish. So maybe I just need to be back in my bedroom at home in
Sheffield.”
