Talking Heads have opened up about the potential of a reunion, with bassist Tina Weymouth saying the band are “just savouring the moment”.The iconic band – comprised of frontman David Byrne, drummer Chris Frantz and guitarist Jerry Harrison and Weymouth – made their first public appearance together in over 20 years earlier this month. They reunited for a Q&A at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11.As announced last month, the long-awaited reunion was staged in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Talking Heads’ legendary concert film, Stop Making Sense (1984).“We’re just savoring the moment. We’re so happy that it’s resulted in this wonderful thing that’s lasted 40 years.
And we’re not really looking too far into the future,” Weymouth said. “We might be standing on the corner and a bus will knock us down. We’re super glad we’re alive.
We’re all four here to enjoy this moment.”A post shared by Talking Heads (@talkingheadsofficial)Harrison added: “There’s no question, though, that it revives the joy we had together. I think for each one of us, watching the film, we feel the joy—not just the four of us, but everybody that was onstage, and the crew. It’s certainly tugging on the heartstrings of how much I loved everybody.”Byrne recently explained that he regrets the way Talking Heads split up, and confessed that he was a “little tyrant” at the time.He also compared his current relationship to his Talking Heads bandmates to a divorce.“Divorces are never easy,” he told The New York Times.
“We get along OK. It’s all very cordial and whatever. It’s not like we’re all best friends.
