Legendary US rock band send supporters wild after dropping MAJOR hint they are reuniting this summer

BBG News

Fans were excitedly speculating on Monday, following the enigmatic post by Talking Heads on their social media platforms.

Back in 1975, I had the pleasure of being part of a groundbreaking US rock group that included David Byrne on vocals, Tina Weymouth on bass, Chris Fantz on drums, and Jerri Harrison on guitar. We rose to fame almost instantly after our formation.

For sixteen years, their partnership brought both commercial and critical acclaim, largely due to beloved songs like “Once in a Lifetime” and “Road to Nowhere.” Unfortunately, the band disbanded in 1991.

Currently, numerous fans are hopeful that their dream of a reunion might be coming true, as the band recently shared a cryptic video on social platforms.

The animation simply showed the sun and the moon rising behind the caption: ‘June 5, 2025.’

The specified date signifies it’s exactly half a century since the band played their very first concert at the legendary CBGB club in New York City. Fans are now speculating if perhaps they might reunite for a tour this coming summer.

Thousands of excited fans took to the comments section, writing: ‘announce a tour i date are you’,

‘Just get back together for some shows and make the world a brighter place!’,

‘IS TALKING HEADS COMING BACK DON’T PLAY WITH MY FEELINGS’,

‘Give the people what they really want and need, and that’s a tour!!!’ 

For the first time since 1984, this band, whose four albums are included on Rolling Stone’s prestigious 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list from 2003, will take the stage for a live performance together.

If the rumors about a Talking Heads reunion are accurate, it’s plausible that the four band members altered their initial decision following a proposal they received approximately half a year back.

According to Billboard’s report, the band is said to have declined an impressive $80 million offer from Live Nation for a reunion tour featuring around six to eight festival and concert performances in December.

Months later, after David, the lead singer of the group, had reconciled with his ex-bandmates, they were all set to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their concert film “Stop Making Sense,” which first appeared in 1984.

Paul Tollet, the organizer of Coachella, mentioned to Billboard that he reached out to the band members back in September about performing at the renowned California festival. However, he felt that no shows were planned, so he didn’t extend an invitation officially.

In December 1991, Talking Heads officially disbanded, leaving the members, excluding David, to temporarily continue performing under a new name, Shrunken Heads.

Following the September screening of their movie anniversary, they participated in a question-and-answer session with director Spike Lee. During this interaction, Chris expressed: “What a pleasure to be here with my fellow musicians tonight. It’s been quite some time.

The LA Times reported that all four individuals chose different rows to settle down while watching the movie, yet they asserted no signs of tension were noticeable.

Jerry mentioned that collaborating on the revised movie was a ‘therapeutic journey’ for the team.

He stated: “We’re doing fine together. Everything is friendly and casual. We’re not close friends, but everyone is delighted that the movie is being released again.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must say, our shared passion for what we’ve created here serves as a fantastic bonding agent. It facilitates open communication and fosters harmony among us.

When the team parted ways, Chris stated that their separation was instigated by David and that he discovered his fellow musician was departing through a news article in the Los Angeles Times.

In my perspective, the band didn’t truly disband; instead, David chose to depart from the group.

‘We were never too pleased about the way David handled the situation.’

David recently expressed remorse about how the band broke up, stating in an interview with People last month: “In my youth, I wasn’t always easy to get along with. During some Talking Heads performances, I behaved like a small dictator.

After that, I discovered the art of unwinding, and I realized something important – when working together, everyone benefits more from a strong connection rather than one person dictating instructions to everyone else.

I feel the conclusion wasn’t managed effectively. It seemed a bit messy, and I carry some remorse about the way it was dealt with.

While I believe there may have been a better approach, it seems like that outcome was likely unavoidable.
