The future of eclectic London prog trio black midi was thrown into doubt over the weekend when singer and guitarist Geordie Greep appeared to announce that the band had split, followed by what appeared to be confirmation from bassist Cameron Picton, which was then followed by what appeared to be an official statement from the band's management stating they were on an "indefinite hiatus".
With Greep about to announce a new solo album, he announced on Instagram that “black midi was an interesting band that’s indefinitely over", which was then. followed by Picton taking to Twitter to say, “We’d agreed to not say anything about ‘breaking up’ so I was as blindsided as everyone else last night but maybe in a different way. I guess sometimes all you can say is lol. Anyway! Starting sessions for my own record soon, looking forward – should be good, hopefully great!” before deleting the Tweet.
