The 13 worst ways musicians have been kicked out of a band
Ouch, that's really got to hurt
Jade Castrinos, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Sharpe: Castrinos had been part of the band for seven years, and fans had questioned her absense from recent live shows. The singer has reportedly explained her departure on her personal Instagram page (MaryJade143), which is a private account. Sources report Castinos posted a photo with the caption: "for seven years i sang and wrote music with edward sharpe. they voted me off of tour a week before they left, via email. lol" Ouch.

All of us have been fired at some point. It's rubbish, but then you go and get disgustingly drunk, forget about it, and update your CV. It's done. But the pain still remains, and for musicians it's no different.

Spare a thought then for these artists, whose terminations were never going to remain private - and, thanks to that trademark mix of massive ego and creativity artists seem to carry, they were never going to be formal, sympathetic affairs.
Take a look at the most inconsiderate, rude methods of firing ever seen in music - from a note under the windscreen, to finding out after the whole world knows on Twitter, to realising you're er, not in your band's new music video...
