LCD Soundsystem: Not Splitting

Hot Chip star Al Doyle, a touring musician with LCD Soundsystem, has clarified a recent interview he gave in which he appeared to suggest that LCD Soundsystem were going to split.

Doyle recently gave an interview to BBC 6Music in which he appeared to state that LCD Soundsystem would soon split. Sparking furious debating amongst fans, it has resulted in Doyle posting a statement on the official Hot Chip site to clarify the group's position.

"A news article has appeared, quoting me as saying that LCD Soundsystem is over, or that they have split up. I would like to clarify that LCD have not disbanded, nor could the entity be disbanded in the sense that it has always had a revolving cast of players – it would be like saying that The Fall had disbanded, or Prince has split up."

"LCD Soundsystem is James Murphy, and he's allowed to take time off, do other things, and come back, or not come back. And he doesn't have to tell you or anyone else about it. I didn't know if anything was going on with LCD next year, which is the truth, and that's all I should have said, but I gabbled on a bit because that's the way I am..."

"Anyway, I should probably stop doing interviews after this, which is already my second chance. But the main point to take away is that more LCD music is in the pipeline, which is surely good news for everybody."
