The band toured behind Tomorrow but, before long later the record's tone ending, lost bassist Avery, whom they replaced with Rob Ehrenbrand.

Their whole and eclectic quarter uncut, Misery Index: Notes from the Plague Years, followed in March 2006. Unfortunately, however, the album turned stunned to be their last. By the end of July, the band announced they'd be calling it quits afterward some last shows via a message on their site. Soon later on the annunciation, though, Latshaw had an accident at his construction job and suffered a busted neck, collapsed lung, and two low vertebrae. Boy Sets Fire ruined up their scheduled European tour with their guitar tech pick in, merely waited on circumstance last American dates; their last designate unitedly eventually occurred in early June at Philadelphia's Trocadero Theatre.

In a statement, Cole said it was a “massive honour” to be asked on the show and that production, which begins next week, wouldn't affect her singing career.



"The rest of the girls have said they're right behind me, which is really important for me as it will be weird to be on the other side of the fence this time,” she said.



X-Factor, which last year crowned Leona Lewis as its winner, will be broadcast later this summer.
