About
Formed in 1988, The Charlatans broke through in the early 1990s with singles such as "The Only One I Know" and the debut album Some Friendly. Keyboardist Rob Collins was killed in a traffic accident in July 1996 during the recording of Tellin' Stories; the band continued and have released numerous studio albums and toured internationally into the 2020s. They have maintained a long-running presence on the UK charts and are often billed as The Charlatans UK in North America.
