Overview
ALEX TURNER has caused a rift between him and his bandmates over his plans to move to America.
The Arctic Monkeys frontman has reportedly "caused a stink" over his decision to leave the UK to live with girlfriend Alex Chung, who is scheduled to begin work on a new TV show in the US.
An unnamed source said the singer "can't bear to be parted" from Chung.
Speaking to the Sun newspaper, they added: "The thought of being separated for months on end, with her trying to get TV work in America while he is in the UK, was too much for him.
"He's madly in love. It has caused a stink with the other boys because it's going to make co-ordinating band business a hell of a lot more difficult, but they're happy for him."
Turner and Chung have been dating since 2007.
Arctic Monkeys are due to release their as-yet-untitled third album later this year.
