Pulp Reformed After Death Of Friend, Jarvis Cocker Reveals

Pulp have revealed that the band decided to get back together following the death of a mutual friend.

The group reformed last year and play their first headline set at Primavera Festival in Spain this weekend.

Speaking to BBC 6 Music, singer Jarvis Cocker denied they had got back together because of “a duffle bag full of money”.

Guitarist Mark Webber added: "I always thought we'd do something together again eventually, but when he died, I realised [we] should maybe grasp that opportunity.

Cocker said: "I think that had a lot to do with it. You suddenly realise you can't take things for granted."

Pulp made their live comeback at an intimate gig in France on May 25.
