Norah JonesIt looks like Norah Jones may be auditioning a new bassist and song co-writer after reportedly separating from boyfriend and bandmate, Lee Alexander.

The couple of around seven years are said to have split up just before Christmas with Lee spending the festive period “catching bands, hanging out and trying to mend his broken heart”, according to the New York Post.

The pair co-wrote Norah’s last album ‘Not Loo Late’ together last year and a source added that they’re still trying to be friends but are finding it difficult.
