Despite what you may have heard, Talking Heads are not reuniting

Continuing in the proud comedic tradition of ginning up a Paul Walker death hoax in the wake of Walker’s actual death, Mediamass’ article on the reunion was a fabrication, much like a similar article on the site that touts a forthcoming album of new material from the 100 percent dead membership of The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Yesterday, music site Blast Echo refuted the rumors through statements from Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz and multi-instrumentalist Jerry Harrison, with Frantz saying “I wish it were true.” But truth, it’s been long acknowledged, just gets twisted around by facts—facts like the indisputable certainty that Talking Heads are still broken up.
