Jarvis Cocker: 'Pulp will not reform'

Jarvis Cocker has confirmed that he has no intention of reuniting with his former Pulp bandmates.

The singer-songwriter told Q that he did not want to give in to requests to get the Britpop band back together.

Cocker said: "We live in an age where repetition and nostalgia are lifestyle choices. I'm prone to it too - I go on YouTube and find things I haven't seen since I was a kid.

"But I'm a contrary sod, so if someone wants me to reform a band I tend not to."

However, he added: "I will go and see Blur at Hyde Park because I'm genuinely interested to see what they sound like."

Coxon recently clarified comments that suggested his support for the Conservative party.
