Tom, der Sänger von Kasabian, hat sein vollstes Verständnis für James und sein Verschwinden vor einigen Wochen ausgedrückt. Er erzählte in einem Interview:
"It's like James from Glasvegas disappearing around the time of theMercurys. I know James and I think he is awesome. I don't know what happened there but sometimes things can get too much when you are the frontman in a band. I've walked off before. Iwon't see anyone for days and everyone is asking where I am. I go into my room for two or three days, Howard Hughes-style. I lock the door, order room service, let my finger nails grow and then appear with a long beard ."
