| 26 June 2007 The Verve reunion was announced. |

It was announced that Richard Ashcroft, Nick McCabe, Simon
Jones and Pete Salisbury would reunite. It came as quite a shock to fans as
only earlier in the year Richard Ashcroft was quoted as saying "There would
be more chance of getting all four Beatles together on stage than a Verve
reunion". Dates for a November tour were announced - 2 each for Glasgow,
Blackpool and London, and an album promised for the end of the summer. Simon
Tong did not rejoin fellow bandmates, but chose to continue to work with The
Good, The Bad and The Queen.
