Deferred gratification

Simply Red are to split up. You will never never never give a shit, I expect.

Still, it's not going to happen right away. The split will come in 2009, so even their end will be tepid and unexciting.

The break-up comes, says potato-faced ginger tosser Mick Fucknall, because he wants to pursue a solo career, as if anybody was ever aware of any of the other members of the band anyway. Here's the money quote: "I've just recorded an album that is a tribute to Bobby Bland".

Imagine. Wonder what gave him that idea.
