James Dean Bradfield Rubbishes Manic St Preachers Split Rumours

ImageManic Street Preachers frontman James Dean Bradfield has rubbished rumours that the band are planning to split.

The singer is set to release his debut solo album later this month, while bassist Nicky Wire is also embarking on his own solo project, which has lent to persistent Internet gossip of an imminent parting of the ways for the band.

Bradfield, busy promoting his solo album 'The Great Western, eased the concerns of worried fans by telling BBC News that the band were just taking a two year hiatus.

He said, "It would take a hell of a lot for us to split up at any point in the future. But we have taken a brief hiatus, we committed to not releasing anything for two years because we realised we had been in a band for 21 years."

"After finishing the tour we felt we deserved to take a break, get some perspective and then make the next Manics album is as good as we can make it."
