The Verve to reunite
The Verve announced today that they are reuniting for a winter tour.
The original band of Richard Ashcroft, Nick McCabe,Simon Jones and Pete Sailsbury have regrouped for the first time in almost a decade. The band broke up in 1999, with the tumultuous relationship between Ashcroft and McCabe being well documented with the two exiting the band repeatedly since they began in 1993.
In a statement, the band have announced they were: "Getting back together for the joy of the music." It is believed they will take a summer break and then return to the studio to complete their next album.
A couple of my personal favorites:
"Sonnet"
"Lucky Man"
I hope Ashcroft and McCabe can get along better and make this more than a short-term reunion. . .

From what I understand, the tour will only be a European thing.
I'm just happy to hear that they're writing new stuff, even if in a limited capacity. Great band!
