MANICS REACH THE END OF THE STREET?

So thick and fast are coming the denials that the Manics are still going to be working together once James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire have got their solo stuff done, you have to wonder if 2004's Lifeblood will be either the last, or last proper, Manics collection.

Wire taps:

“I've just done a really crappy punky solo album. James has done a solo album and the Manics are writing as well, so lots of stuff going on.

"I'm going to do some gigs and they'll be a mix of baroque comedy and useless guitaring."

So, no change there, then.

Be honest, though, had you noticed they didn't do an album last year?
