Speaking to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/culture\/music\/article\/david-byrne-interview-talking-heads-blx0f8rgg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Times of London;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Times of London<\/a>, Byrne said there would be no point in getting the band back together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cOn a practical level, trying to recreate the feeling that people had when they were in their early twenties? The time that they first heard that music? That\u2019s a fool\u2019s errand,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd besides, I\u2019m really enjoying what I\u2019m doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Talking Heads called it a day in 1991, a full seven years after their last live performance, and have forcefully rejected the idea of a reunion ever since. An anniversary re-release of Jonathan Demme\u2019s concert documentary \u201cStop Making Sense\u201d amplified reunion rumors as the band\u2019s members came together for interviews and late-night spots. Byrne told the Times that sometimes a promo is just a promo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWe were on TV together and people went, \u2018Well, they all seem to be getting along,\u201d he said, before shooting down the fan-fueled hope. \u201cBut no, I don\u2019t think so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Outside of hoping for the reunion, Byrne hopes his fans will remain optimistic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThe new songs seem to be offering feelings of hope, humanity,\u201d Byrne said of \u201cWho Is the Sky?\u201d,\u00a0 his latest solo album. \u201cIt was like therapy, given all the things happening in the world \u2014 especially in the US.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salon.com\/2025\/08\/17\/david-byrne-calls-talking-heads-reunion-a-fools-errand\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:David Byrne calls Talking Heads reunion a \u201cfool\u2019s errand\u201d;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">David Byrne calls Talking Heads reunion a \u201cfool\u2019s errand\u201d<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salon.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Salon.com;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Salon.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article.
