Jarvis Cocker: Pulp Not Reforming

Jarvis Cocker has given a new interview claiming the Pulp re-union is not going to happen just yet.

Pulp are legends at Glastonbury, part of the mud that holds the festival up. The band's performance at the 1995 bash has gone down in festival folklore, helping to break Pulp in the mainstream.

Performing several times at the festival, Jarvis Cocker's dramatic swagger made for an incredible live show. Pulp went on hiatus in 2002, with the various members embarking on a number of different projects.

Singer Jarvis Cocker went on to enjoy a successful solo career. The singer returned this year with his stunning new album 'Further Complications' which won acclaim in part thanks to its gritty Steve Albini supplied production.

Clearly relishing life on his own, Jarvis Cocker recently sparked a flurry of interest after a newspaper quoted him as saying Pulp could reform to play next year's Glastonbury.

Set to celebrate its 40th anniversary, organiser Michael Eavis has stated his desire to book acts from throughout the festival's history. One of the first names on fans lips were Pulp, who remain on good terms with one another.

However the singer has now denied that this is set to happen. Speaking to Teletext, Jarvis Cocker claimed that he was mis-quoted.

"I can categorically tell Teletext that Pulp have no plans to get back together," he declared.

"Someone asked me if I fancied playing at the 40th anniversary of Glastonbury, I said yes, they twisted that into a 'Pulp reform' story. It's not true."
