Jack Bruce: Cream 2013 Reunion Plans Scrapped
In a recent interview with the BBC, rock legend Jack Bruce revealed that plans for a Cream reunion in 2013 have been halted due to a rift between guitarist Eric Clapton and drummer Ginger Baker. The band, which was one of the first rock supergroups, last reunited in 2005 for four sold out shows.
“There was supposed to be [a reunion] next year, but I think Ginger upset Eric this time, so it’s not happening,” Bruce told the interviewer, adding that he couldn’t tell what exactly happened.
Bruce has meanwhile been recording and touring with Spectrum Road and his Big Blues Band, which will be heading to South America for a few concerts later this month.
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
I seem to recall an interview with Ginger Baker where he said he refused to work with Jack again because his volume damaged Ginger’s hearing during their last reunion.
They’re all of the age now where they should just grow up.
There must be loads of solid drummers who would jump at the chance of playing with Jack and EC.
John Daniel Not a reunion.
But you must also be aware that many people never grow up. True story….
Obviously, Roger.
Sad but true.
@Jay Chambers: I couldn’t have said it better.
das ist es.
Ginger is a fantastic drummer but a complete horses ass. I read his biography, and basically he has screwed everything he has ever touched. His bands are all short lived because he is such a pain in the ass, his business ventures have all been failures. Both his daughter Ginette and his son Kofi have been quoted about what lousy father he is. He blew $5M fron the 2005 Cream reunion and is broke again. What a doofus (but a great drummer). I was at the 2005 Cream show where he talks iin his book about how deafening Jack’s bass was, and how Jack was “leaping about the stage like Brice Springsteen”. I was there, it didn’t happen, he’s an idiot.
Clapton is waaay over-rated and he is also an arrogant fool. I have no use for the POS.
