Founded music band Suede in 1989 with Mat Osman and his then girlfriend
Justine Frischmann. The band broke up in 2003 so he founded a new band in 2004
called 'The Tears' with Bernard Butler (who actually had been in Suede but
left in 1994).
I would never do it just for the money, but would not have a problem
with it if it was for the right reasons. Like if a member of Suede sent
me a great piece of music, and I was inspired to write to it and felt
we could make a great record. I'd do it if it didn't come across as
sad, but that's a big if - I don't think bands can reform without it
looking sad.
