The Verve To Miss V Festival?

A report claims the groups guitarist is ready to quit the band

The Verve are on the brink of splitting up- according to The Sun- just a few days before they play V Festival.

A report claims guitarist Nick McCabe is not happy about the Wigan groups hectic tour diary and has been getting stuck into the wild lifestyle.

Its alleged the group may miss V and that if they do make the Essex and Staffordshire dates theyre likely to be The Verves last ever shows.

The Verve are just back from Japan and had a big new entry with their single Love Is Noise this week which entered at number 5.

However a label statement said: "The Verve's Nick McCabe injured his finger after the band's recent weekend show in Osaka, Japan.He was treated by medics at the scene. The Verve will headline this weekend's V Festival as planned."

The groups comeback album Forth has received mixed reviews and some critics have claimed that they reformed for the cash.
