"Kele Okereke has joked about being a judge on an America&amp;#039;s Next Top Model-style competition to find his replacement as Bloc Party frontman. The group confirmed earlier today that Okereke had left the band and that they would continue without him. In a post on his official blog titled &amp;#039;Oh dear&amp;#039;, he linked to a story about Bloc Party auditioning for a new singer &amp;quot;Hmm, i dont know what to make of this (sic),&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;A big part of me is laughing on the inside but another part of me is all like WTF? &amp;quot;Im quite curious though, as to what a bloc party audition would be like? i wonder if they would let me sit on the panel so i could be a judge tyra banks style?&amp;quot; Guitarist Russell Lissack had previously said that the rest of the band &amp;quot;wanted to meet up and make music&amp;quot; while Okereke continued his solo career. &amp;quot;We were talking about just doing an instrumental thing,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;But now we might get a singer as well, to properly put some music out and play some shows.&amp;quot; Okereke releases solo EP The Hunter on October 31, following last year&amp;#039;s album The Boxer. He previously admitted to being unsure about his future in the band. In April, Lissack claimed that he had reunited with Okereke after a two-year break and that Bloc Party were &amp;quot;going to get back properly in September and sit in a rehearsal studio to work on new band material&amp;quot;.
