Jamie Hince

James William Hince is an English guitarist, singer and songwriter, best known as the guitarist for the indie rock duo The Kills. He started his musical career in the bands Blyth Power (1987-1990), Scarfo (1994-1998) and Fiji (1999). He co-founded The Kills with American singer Alison Mosshart, formerly of Discount in 2000. In The Kills, Hince is known as "Hotel".
In the early 2010s, Hince lost the use of one finger on his left hand following an accident of his hand being shut in a car door. He had to relearn how to play the guitar without it. In 2018, he was featured on Azealia Banks' song "Lorelei" from her second studio album, Fantasea II: The Second Wave.
Hince was married to model Kate Moss. In 2008, The Sun reported that Hince and Moss became engaged during a trip to Amsterdam. Hince proposed to her in bed with a vintage 1920s ring worth more than £10,000. They married on 1 July 2011 at St Peter's Church, Southrop in Gloucestershire, and separated in July 2015. They divorced in 2016.
==Links to Peel==
Peel played much of Jamie Hince's material in the 90's, especially in Scarfo, where the group did two sessions for his programmes as well as his collaboration with Jeremy Stacey, a drummer and keyboard player in 1999 under the name of Fiji. In the 00's, Peel gave airplay to the Kills, who also recorded a session for his programme in 2003. However, Peel never played any material from Jamie Hince's first band, Blyth Power, which the musician joined in 1987 before leaving the group in 1990.
