Reports of a "huge bust up" at Summer Sonic are denied, but Nick McCabe did "cut his finger on a piece of glass in the dressing room". Ahem.

The Verve have denied rumours circulating that they're about to cancel their appearances at V Festival this weekend (August 16-17).Holy Moly reported a "huge bust up" at Osakas' Summer Sonic festival, with guitarist Nick McCabe allegedly being submitted to hospital, guitars being smashed and Richard Ashcroft storming off stage. Apparently the whole fracas ended with McCabe flying back to the UK seperately to the rest of the band.
However, a spokesperson for the band denied The Verve would not appear at the festival. Speaking to NME.com they said: "Contrary to rumours circulating Nick McCabe cut his finger on piece of glass in the dressing room after the gig in Japan.
"He was treated by medics at the scene and then flew home. He's fine except for sore finger and that won't effect their appearance at V at the weekend."
Quite why a cut finger would make you need a different flight to your bandmates, quite frankly, is beyond us.
