David Byrne explains why he won’t be reuniting with Talking Heads

David Byrne reunited with his Talking Heads bandmates in 2023 to promote the rerelease of their 1984 concert film, Stop Making Sense, but anyone holding out hope for a reunion tour will be disappointed.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Byrne says doing press for the movie together resulted in him and his bandmates – Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison and Tina Weymouth – feeling "more comfortable with one another" but it won't lead to anything else.

Byrne is set to release a new solo album, Who is the Sky?, on Sept. 5 and just released another song from the record, "The Avant Garde," to digital outlets.

He's also hitting the road on a new tour that kicks off Sept. 14 in Providence, Rhode Island. A complete list of dates can be found at DavidByrne.com.
