Talking Heads have spoken out after a whirlwind week of rumours that they were reuniting for a new album and world tour.
Earlier this week, it was reported that sources claimed the band were holed up in the studio to make their first new album since their split 25 years ago, and that the 'Once In A Lifetime' and 'Psycho Killer' stars would be heading out on a world tour in 2017.
Now, sadly, guitarist Jerry Harrison has responded to the claims of the return of the 'This Must Be The Place' icons to BlastEcho - simply texting them “the rumour is false” (we know: A - this is gutting news, and B - we want a Talking Head's phone number).
Drummer Chris Frantz then added: “I wish it were true. It should be happening but [frontman] David [Byrne] is holding out.”
The 'Life During Wartime' indie icons formed amid the CBGBs New York punk scene in 1977, releasing eight studio albums before they disbanded in 1991. Frontman David Byrne then launched a successful solo career - more recently working with St Vincent, Anna Calvi, as well as his Contemporary Colour concert series and curating Meltdown Festival. He is currently said to be working with Brian Eno again.
