The Kinks Are Getting Back Together
The news will come as a surprise considering that ever since the band broke up, Ray and Dave Davies have traded insults in the press.
They made Liam and Noel Gallagher's squabbling appear pale in comparison. Dave even once claimed Ray “sucks me dry of ideas, emotions and creativity. It’s toxic for me to be with him.” In return, Ray stood all over Dave's birthday cake
But they've now obviously kissed and made up. And they've revealed that they're back in the studio recording a new album.
The reunion will be the first time in 20 years that the band have shared a stage together, with their last album being released in 1993.
"I think it’s kind of an appropriate time to do it," Ray has said in a new interview with BBC.
Dave added: “It won’t be well-organised like the Rolling Stones. You must praise The Rolling Stones for being great at publicity and a great band great at organizing their careers and Mick [Jagger] has done an incredible PR job and it’s kind of inspiring to see them doing it. But The Kinks will probably be playing the local bar.”
