The Voice UK auditionee Nathan Moore has opened up about his bankruptcy following the end of his band Brother Beyond in the 80s.
Moore - who appeared on this weekend's show but did not get through to the next round - told Digital Spy that the band were dropped from their label very suddenly.
"I'd just been on tour of American for three months," he said. "I got invited to dinner with Madonna, I met Warren Beatty, Sandra Bernhard. Then the week we came back our manager said, 'You've been dropped by Emi'. I had no money, I then got a massive tax bill, I got made bankrupt, I had nowhere to live, I had to borrow money off my Dad just to eat.
"So I'd gone from first class flying, hotels, everything, to getting on the bus. I was just stressed. Nothing prepares you for it. It was really...

Well, tonight's episode (February 7) of The Voice UK was very illuminating - and we're not just talking about Rita Ora learning all sorts of things from Sir Tom Jones, or will.i.am opening up about his lack of muscles. Nope - while all of that was very interesting, we also got to know which eight new acts have made it through to the blind auditions.
But who made the biggest impression? Who will we be excited to see again in the upcoming battle rounds? Read on as we assess the auditions from tonight's episode of The Voice...
1. Vikesh Champaneri
Song: 'Hometown Glory' - Adele
Team: Team Ricky (Sir Tom and Rita also turned)
Maybe it was just the song? Maybe - but we don't think so. Vikesh - a booker for posh taxis - took to the stage and completely blindsided us with his incredible take on 'Hometown Glory'.
