Keane

English alternative rock band renowned for piano-driven anthems and emotionally resonant lyrics. Formed in Battle, East Sussex, Keane rose to prominence in 2004 with their multi-platinum debut album 'Hopes and Fears'. The band achieved global success despite notably performing without guitars after founding guitarist Dominic Scott's departure in 2001.
  • Original guitarist Dominic Scott left in 2001, leading Keane to pioneer their signature piano-rock sound without a dedicated guitarist.
  • Lead vocalist Tom Chaplin entered rehab for cocaine and ketamine addiction in 2006, causing tour cancellations before the release of their second album 'Under the Iron Sea'.
  • The band went on hiatus from 2013–2019 after their fourth album, with members pursuing solo projects before reuniting for 'Cause and Effect'.
  • Tim Rice-Oxley composed early hit 'Somewhere Only We Know' in 10 minutes; it became their bestselling single and featured in films like 'The Holiday'.
