Originally call the Lotus Eaters, later changed to Cherry Keane (after a sitter who
watched Rice-Oxley and Chaplin as children), then eventually just Keane!
The group comprises composer, bassist, and pianist Tim Rice-Oxley,
lead vocalist Tom Chaplin and drummer Richard Hughes.
In 1997, Chris Martin invited Rice-Oxley to join his newly formed
band
Coldplay. However, Rice-Oxley declined. One of the original
members,
guitarist Dominic Scott, left the band in 2001.
