Crowded House regroups, plans WORLD tour
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Don't dream it's over -- Crowded House, the Australian-New Zealand pop band that topped international music charts in the late 1980s, has confirmed plans to reunite and embark on a world tour.
Frontman Neil Finn said in a statement released by music label EMI that he has also been working on a new album with fellow founding bandmember Nick Seymour.
"It feels right to us that the band should re-emerge at this time," Finn said. "We aim to make the upcoming shows and the new music every bit as vital and spirited as what has come before."
A new album, entitled "Time On Earth", would be released later this year.
Finn also confirmed the band was seeking a replacement for drummer Paul Hester, who committed suicide in 2005.
Crowded House, which split up in 1996, was formed after the 1984 break-up of Split Enz, a New Zealand pop-rock band that included Hester, Neil Finn and his older brother Tim.
Crowded House's best-known hits include "Weather with You" and "Don't Dream It's Over", which was re-recorded by several other artists and used by the New Zealand Tourism Board in its advertisements.
