Fans prevent Jimmy Fallon from asking Talking Heads about their comeback
During the most recent episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the iconic 70s American band Talking Heads made an appearance, leaving many fans disappointed by Fallon’s decision to skip a crucial question about the band’s potential comeback.
Formed in 1975, Talking Heads was considered one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the 80s, with members David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison. Known for their innovative blend of punk, art rock, funk, and world music, the band reunited last in 2002. The question of their potential comeback remains unanswered as fans speculate on Fallon’s choice to avoid the topic.
Fans debate why Jimmy Fallon did not ask Talking Heads about their comeback
During their appearance on The Tonight Show, the band discussed various topics, including their concert film Stop Making Sense and contributions from artists like Miley Cyrus, Lorde, and Paramore to their tribute album. They also talked about their anniversary release goals.
While fans appreciated the discussion, many were disappointed by Fallon’s decision not to discuss the potential for a comeback tour. The band reportedly declined an $80 million reunion offer in the past, sparking debates among fans about Fallon’s choice to avoid the subject.
One fan expressed frustration, stating, “He neglected to ask the number one question on everyone’s minds which is if they’ll ever do a show together.” Others speculated on possible reasons for Fallon’s omission.
Despite fans’ eagerness for a reunion, recent indications suggest that Talking Heads may not be considering a comeback anytime soon, even after a generous offer from the Coachella music festival earlier this year. According to reports, the band turned down an $80 million offer to headline several festivals.
Talking Heads not up for a reunion anytime soon
Rumors of a potential reunion emerged when Frantz hinted at a return, but it was later clarified that the band was only returning for a screening and live Q&A event. Despite ongoing speculation, it seems Talking Heads may not be reuniting in the near future.
