Just read it and it does seem pretty final doesn't it? In that usual vague Pulp way that they have. Bit disappointed that they will be 'sailing off into the sunset' (one last, big payday?) and the news has knocked me a bit but that seems to be it. The news doesn't come from some obscure French mag though, it's a quote from Q so should be pretty easy to check if anyone is passinbg by a WH Smiths this afternoon.

Oh well... at least we got to see them live one last time. I suppose they didnt have the right material to make that comeback.

Saw this below. Don't really trust the NME, and as they're quoting an interview in another magazine, credibility is stretched a little.
But still, I don't see them making any more music together. They've had enough time, and if they were we would've gotten wind of it by now, so it shouldn't be a surprise anyway.

I don't think Pulp would ever announce a split properly because they never will call time for good. They'll be back for more shows I'm sure, but it could be years again.

Again, I don't really trust the NME but this is what I was expecting anyway. If they're going to say anything else on the subject I'd imagine it'd be at the sheffield show.

It's not about trusting NME, they're just quoting from the new edition of Q.
It is odd though that in the filmed interview for Q at their awards ceremony last month Jarvis was a lot more coy and said he was just going to avoid the question. Presumably they had more of a chat with him later and he was more forthcoming.

So the Jamaica cruise may be the last ever Pulp shows. Plenty of rooms still available.

its very Pulp of them to just sort of sail off into the sunset - never wanted it to turn out like the pixies reunion thingy - they were going around the world for about 6 years playing doooolittle....

would have loved a final hurrah to see them but I always thought my time with them last year was going to be it, so I made sure I took it all in and totally appreciated when they were standing right in front of me.

Andy, if you recheck Graham's twitter, he does state later that it was his 'alter ego' Mark Coxon who stated that.

Yes...grabbing at straws :)

Being a Pulp fan can be testing at times. My advice is live in the moment & don't expect anything until it there in front of you. Same goes for that bloody Blur album which has been on and off more times that I care to mention.

The Pulp reunion has been amazing & the acclaim they have recieved is well deserved but they can't carry on touring for much longer without new material so for that reason it's right they should bow out gracefully before they outstay their welcome.

Sheffield will be an emotional but celebratory show, I'm sure. Be there, six o clock (by the fountain down the road).

 Yeah i got a bit carried away here, Coxon says a lot of shitty stuff on twitter. It's not the first time

 

Anyway, now that it's done, maybe we'll see and hear another batch of unreleased stuff, like the WLL sessions... let's hope

Cutcopy, I agree. Also I think that, even if I could get to this gig, I wouldn't be expecting it to live up to Brixton or Glasto (even Rah paled in comparison). Given the size of the venue, it could well be like an indoor Wireless. Enormodomes aren't the best place to see you favourite bands.

Surely they won't want their last concert to be on a ferry with most of their biggest fans not having the money to see them. I just don't believe this is the very end and to be honest am still hoping for new material at Sheffield - just imagine how much of a surprise that would be!! (I know it is extremely unlikely).

Even i lost faith. and i was the biggest supporter of that new material theory. They seemed to be having a good time in Paris but it was 50/50 really, i guess they feel the pressure is too high for their old bodies.

 Nah, 69 year old Scott Walker has a new album out next week (oddly, there were 11 year gaps between his last 3...here's to hoping!)

Ooh I dunno, I think this could be as special as Glasto, even if the venue isn't a special. I certainly think it'll eclipse Wireless

 From what I heard on the radio this morning, Mick Jagger is as hyperactive as ever at 69 - apparently he "moves like Jagger", fancy that.

I dunno, Liltman. It's that yawning chasm between audience and band that helps to kill the atmosphere I think. And nob heads in the audience. It's the latter that partially ruined Wireless for me. I'll stop moaning now.

I know what you mean, the least enjoyable Pulp gig I've ever been to was, it's probably no coincidence, the only arena show I saw them do, back in 96. After seeing them pushed up against the bars a few months earlier it was a bit of a letdown to be so far away. But I think the setlist and fact it's going to be their last gig over here for the forseeable will make it better than Wireless.

I still feel they should do a free warm-up gig at Leadmill if it is to be a 'final goodbye'.

E-mail everybody on here with some kind of unique code, then those in the local area can go and get a couple of tickets each or whatever. Obviously that wouldn't be many people but then announce the gig publically at 9am on the day. Do what the Stone Roses did for their Warrington gig, and insist that everyone who gets a ticket must own either a ticket from a previous gig or an item of Pulp merchandise. I'm sure you'd sell 800 in a day doing that - especially if it was free.

That way, it's a brilliant intimate venue with a lot of meaning for the band, and you'll only really have relatively hardcore fans of the band. Seems like a great place to do old/rare stuff before a slightly more greatest hits set at the arena.

 

EDIT: Obviously I wouldn't realistically be able to go living down South, just showing my selfless side here...

I'm hoping it's another hiatus until a new record....

Jarvis will probably go on as a solo artist and jump less onstage, he's given it all for Pulp coz there was a few gigs but he cant do that for a whole tour. Or he would have to do cardio and stuff like that prior to the tour.

As for Mick Jagger, he's a joke since the 80s, i wouldnt want Pulp ending up like that.
