Bloc Party drummer Matt Tong has sparked uncertainty about the band’s future by admitting "I wouldn’t mind trying something else for a while".
He said: "We definitely need to have a break and gain a bit of perspective on life outside of the band. Hopefully if we do reconvene at some point in the future we’ll be refreshed and have so many ideas to bring to what it is we do.
"I definitely don’t think this will be the last you’ll hear of the people who make up Bloc Party.
"Kele is an insatiable workaholic and creating is something he is so connected to so you’ll definitely hear from him again along with Russell and Gordon also.
"As for me I don’t know, I wouldn’t mind trying something else for a while."
