Doves have denied they are splitting up after their forthcoming UK tour.
Guitarist Jez Williams told The Observer he was misquoted recently as saying the nine-date jaunt would “probably” be the Manchester band’s final tour.
“It is our last tour for a bit. I never said forever,” he said.
His brother, drummer Andy Williams, added: “I was like: ‘The band are splitting up!? No one told me.”
‘The Places Between: The Best Of Doves’ was released today (April 5).
It includes a disc of B-sides, rarities and unreleased tracks, including newly-recorded songs ‘Blue Water’, ‘Drifter’ and new single ‘Andalucia’.
Doves will play:
Hull City Hall (April 28)
Leicester De Montfort Hall (29)
O2 Academy Glasgow (May 1)
Blackburn King George’s Hall (2)
Folkestone Leas Cliff Hall (4)
Wolverhampton Civic Hall (5)
