Q. Alright, I'll pull the string...
I found this on Wikipedia today: 2nd May 2008, Andy Partridge announced during a short interview with Mojo, that XTC will be back together before the end of the year and touring for the first time since 1982.
This is astonishing news to fans of the band who, whilst knowing that Partridge was speaking to Dave Gregory again, never thought XTC would play live ever agian after so many dormant years.
Any weight to the claim?

A. Well me old Kev, somebody has got some crossed wires going for sure and what a mistake to read anything on Thickipedia. NO,we wont be getting back together again for any purpose in any forseeable future as long as i've still got a hole in my arse.
How do these rumours start? I suppose it's from the same source that gave the world snippets like "Andy wears armour and has a collection of more than 50 bycycles" (which journalists have actually asked me about in all seriousness).
Sleep well. Andy
