Leur retour fut une si belle nouvelle en début d’année, et la possibilité d’un concert de Lush à Paris, 20 ans après leur split originel, nous faisait rêver. Mais pendant la longue tournée qu’ils on effectué à travers le monde en 2016 et deux dates en France (This Is Not A Lovesong Festival à Nîmes et La Route du Rock à Saint Malo), le groupe n’est pas passé par la capitale.

Notre frustration se transforme aujourd’hui en déchirement puisque Lush vient d’annoncer officiellement aujourd’hui sa séparation définitive qui prendra effet après leur concert du 25 novembre à Manchester. Mais les albums restent, et pour le souvenir, une vidéo de leur passage au festival This Is Not A Lovesong en juillet dernier:

Band Statement:

It’s been a fantastic year for Lush. We received an incredible reception to our Blind Spot EP and the three beautiful career-spanning 4AD releases, sold out two Roundhouse shows, toured North America with great success and had a ball at our European festival appearances. It’s been wonderful to revisit our old music and to create new material.
However, it is now time for us to return to our families and homes, and bring our time together as a band to a close. We offer heartfelt thanks to all our fans – this reunion would never have happened without your overwhelming support and dedication.
We would like to take this opportunity to announce that, for our last-ever performance at Manchester Academy on November 25th, Emma, Miki and Justin will be joined by former 4AD label mate Michael Conroy, bass player for Modern English. As with Justin’s involvement, Michael playing with Lush has a special significance for us as he was a very close friend of Chris’s.
