Despite those occasional setbacks, Doves remain one of the most successful bands of their generation.
The trio met at school and found initial success in their native Manchester as dance act Sub Sub, before shooting to international fame with hit single, Ain’t No Love (Ain’t No Use).
But after that studio fire in 1998, they turned instead to indie rock.
The band’s first two albums, Lost Souls and The Last Broadcast, were nominated for the Mercury Prize, while their third, Some Cities, and fourth, Kingdom of Rust, debuted at numbers one and two in the UK charts respectively.
That success included progressively larger world tours, before the band entered a hiatus in 2010.
After side and solo projects, they returned with The Universal Want in 2020, but their live comeback was halted when Goodwin pulled out of the shows during the tour.
