Freebase To Be Fronted By Gallagher, Gillespie, Brown And Burgess

Supergroup takes shape...

Share

Freebase – the band that sees Peter Hook, Andy Rourke and Mani join forces have finally found a singer worthy of fronting them, kind of.

As we reported last year the band were without vocals and searching for a front man but Peter Hook has now revealed the names they have decided upon.

Speaking to Billboard he said: "We've been working with some great singers. Tim Burgess has done a vocal for us. Liam Gallagher, I believe, is doing one, Ian Brown and Bobby Gillespie.

"We're going to get them up on stage as well. It's nice that Mani and I can call in a few favours. We were going to call it 'Fourbase,' but it didn't have the same ring to it."

Hook also says that while he feels great to be writing new material again there are no plans as yet to work a new New Order album.

  • I gave Tim Burgess his first spliff in Northwich, Cheshire, England. He puked up. He was going out with a nurse at the time... Still, he’s moved on since then, eh?
