Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson 'Bemused' By Lineup Debates (A Top Story)


.
On Wednesday Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson 'Bemused' By Lineup Debates was a top story. Here is the recap: (Prog) Jethro Tull mainman Ian Anderson says he's "bemused" by fans who want to see him reunite with former band members for future live dates. He's been playing Tull tracks live under his own name since completing the Aqualung 40th anniversary tour in 2011. He released Thick As A Brick 2 in 2012 without longtime Tull members guitarist Martin Barre and drummer Doane Perry.

Some followers have called for a reunion for their upcoming appearance at the TeamRock-sponsored Ramblin' Man Fair. But Anderson says on his website: "I am rather bemused by the fan gossip surrounding who might be, or should be, at my side in concert. All of the musicians in the current band have performed as members of Jethro Tull during the last decade. They are fine musicians, wonderful people and my closest friends.

"There have been, arguably, 26 members of Jethro Tull over the years; a big extended family of musicians. A family who are usually delighted to see each other again after a period of absence but sometimes with the proviso that after a warm and welcoming cup of tea, they won't stay for lunch. You know how it is." Read more - here.
