Suede singer Brett Anderson has claimed that the band could continue beyond their reformation show at the O2 Arena.
Suede arrived in a blizzard of hype, the obvious heirs to the throne vacated by The Smiths. Releasing two pivotal albums, the band were then rocked by the departure of guitarist Bernard Butler.
Replaced by a teenager, Suede reached the mainstream before stuttering to a halt in 2002. Reforming for a one off show earlier this year, the indie icons swiftly organised a handful of extra performances including an appearance at the O2 Arena.
Long since sold out, Suede were due to call a halt to their re-union after this show. However in a new interview with the NME, singer Brett Anderson has argued that there is no reason to stop.
“We certainly don’t have long term plans,” the singer explained, although he also stated that there was no reason to call a halt to the group.
Suede initially reformed in March, at the behest of the Teenage Cancer Trust. “We got asked by the Teenage Cancer Trust, ‘Do you wanna do a show?’, and it sort of felt like it would be special enough to do again. And I think we’ll carry on doing this until it stops feeling special again.”
To toast their return, Suede are preparing to release a two disc retrospective. Due to be released on November 1st, ‘The Best Of’ contains all the band’s best known tracks alongside some rarities.
A worthwhile wander down memory lane, ‘The Best Of’ will also be released as a download alongside a special one off interview.
Suede are due to play the following show:
December
7 London O2 Arena
