The Verve reunite for U.K. tour
Yahoo! Music, Jun 26, 2007 2:00 pm PDTThe Verve are set to reunite for a winter tour.
The original band of Richard Ashcroft, Nick McCabe, Simon Jones, and Pete Sailsbury have got together for the first time in almost a decade.
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.
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.
The band is set to play:
Glasgow Academy (November 2,3)
Blackpool Empress Ballroom (5,6)
London Roundhouse (8,9)
