In a shock move, Gary Neville has joined up with chart-topping indie band The Reytons ahead of their UK and Ireland tour next year. Following an apparent injury to bassist Lee Holland, the band announced the former Manchester United and England defender as the temporary replacement on Monday, alongside a host of huge live shows across the UK and Ireland.

Off the back of their 2023 number one album ‘What’s Rock and Roll?’, 2024 has already been a whirlwind of a year for the Rotherham 4-piece - made up of Jonny Yerrell, Joe O’Brien, Lee Holland (Gary Neville replacing) and Jamie Todd - , narrowly missing out on top spot with their latest album ‘Ballad of a Bystander’ in January, before delivering a stratospheric 20,000 strong sold out headline show in their hometown’s Clifton Park. Described as ‘this generation’s Spike Island’, the Clifton Park show will live long in the memories of Reytons supporters, Rotherham residents and indie fans alike.
