Final Entry
October 20, 2015 |
With the amazing news that
Lush is reforming, there has
been a flood of press articles, social media activity and news
from the band itself which I cannot keep up with, so I'm no
longer able to keep this website current.
Hopefully this site will remain useful as a
reference archive for the unique story of Lush, from their
beginnings up to the reunion announcement - 1988 to 2015.
I still hope to someday update this site with
the large number of old interviews, articles, clippings, memorabilia, photos
and more, kindly submitted by many fans
over the years, which I have not yet added to the site. |
