[3] He appeared playing drums in Primal Scream's 1987 music video for "Gentle Tuesday", the opening track of the group's 1987 album entitled Sonic Flower Groove; chosen because of his haircut.

[2] In a 2008 interview with Von Pip Musical Express, King recalled how he joined Lush: "Miki called me up at work.

[5] Lush were added to the Lollapalooza roster in 1992 by its organizer, Perry Farrell, the Jane's Addiction/Porno for Pyros frontman, who personally requested them for his new tour program.

[2] After Lush, King stated, "I did do a bit of office work here and there – Q, Vox, NME – and was even a film extra for a short period of time".

[5] "I got a call from the NME saying did I want to come into their nice warm offices and work on the gig guide I jumped at the chance.

I turned it down the first time, so disillusioned was I with the music industry; but then thought, "Don't be stupid, it's the Jesus And Mary Chain!"

As a result, we will no longer be able to appear at the Iceland Airwaves and Rolling Stone Weekender festivals - massive apologies to everyone who was looking forward to seeing us play there.

We are in the process of acquiring another bass player and look forward to our final show at Manchester Academy on November 25th.
