Stupid reason to be axed from a band

Chris Joyce the original drummer for Simply Red was fired far a rather bizarre reason. During the recording of the 1991 album Stars , Joyce services were dispensed with because lead singer Mick Hucknell  was looking for a drummer who could drum like a drum machine. Hucknell found such a person in Gota Yashiki. Stars would prove to Simply Red's most successful album.
