Problems appear on the horizon for xx as it's rumored that the guitarist Baria Quereshi has left the group, after deciding not to appear in a concert  the day before yesterday in Shoreditch.

The group stated that they're distraught by her absence. During the concert the singer Oliver Sim said publicly that they had had some very difficult times and that it was the first time playing as a three-member band. Then he added, that they were forced to cancel some of the upcoming concerts in Europe to discuss their future over the weekend and mentioned the lack of Baria Quereshi as temporary, and dedicated to her the song 'VCR'.

Despite these problems, the xx played live all the songs from their debut album and the cover of 'Teardops' of Womack & Womack.

The official statement issued by xx says: "Baria did not appear last night as she felt exhausted from the tour of xx. This led the band to play with 3 members in London and to postpone some European concerts, which they hope to reprogram. The next concert will be held on 3 November in Frankfurt."
