Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows is reported to be recording a solo album – despite resistance from his frontman Johnny Borrell.

Burrows, who was responsible for Razorlight’s hit single 'America’, is recording the album for a local charity in Winchester.

However, according to the Observer, the band’s management won’t publish any details about who the charity is.

“Johnny reckons it means people will see how good Andy actually is and how much of it is up to him,” a friend told the paper.

Razorlight are due to headline the Rock Ness Festival in Scotland this summer along with Fatboy Slim.
