Keyboard player Rob Collins was killed in a traffic accident on 22 July 1996, during the recording of the band’s fifth album, Tellin’ Stories . The Charlatans decided to continue, enlisting Primal Scream and former Felt keyboardist Martin Duffy until a permanent replacement for Collins could be found, particularly for their support slot at Oasis ‘ Knebworth concerts, which were just weeks away, scheduled for 10 and 11 August. Tellin’ Stories was released in 1997, featuring contributions from both Rob Collins and Duffy. The group achieved their biggest UK hits to date with the singles ” One to Another “, “North Country Boy” and “How High”.
