April 12, 2010, 14 years ago
According to the BBC, former CREAM bassist Jack Bruce has said there won’t be any more gigs with the supergroup.
Speaking about his newly published biography, Composing Himself, Jack said he has moved on from his time with the outfit, which rose to heights before splitting in 1968 – after just over 2 years together.
The book details the highs and lows of his career, which spans over 5 decades; looking back on life on the road, his family tragedies and battles with drug addiction.
It also concentrates heavily on life in Cream. Jack explained that when the group began, they wanted their sound to be ground-breaking
“I think we were trying to forge a new musical language using what we knew – and what we were beginning to find out about music – for example blues and jazz.”While the band last played together in 2005, when they reunited for a series of shows, Jack is adamant there won’t be any in the years to come. “There’s a new story now – Cream is over.”
