"We've had the most incredible time but we changed so much in that time. As human beings our lives had changed and the way we made music changed," Alexander said in an interview with BBC Radio 2, according to a report in contactmusic.com.

He added: "When we announced that it was just going to be me moving forward that was kind of a long time coming for us and nothing bad had happened, there was no drama or anything, but as people we just decided to do our things, really, and that was it."

The band had put out a statement in March announcing their split.
