With his wooly hat pulled low over his face and dark glasses covering his eyes, Brand looked sad and crestfallen that his short-lived marriage was over.
He appeared to be with Florence Welch from pop band Florence and the Machine as he left the building.
Meanwhile, new reports claim that Perry wanted her husband to file for divorce so that she didn't have to be the one to end their marriage - and disappoint her evangelical Christan parents.

According to celebrity website TMZ, the singer, 27, did not want to officially file for divorce herself as divorce goes against her religious upbringing.

TMZ alleges that, contrary to earlier reports, the couple agreed to split a few weeks ago, but waited to file papers until they were both out of the country.
