Kele Okereke has confirmed that he has reunited with Bloc Party.

The singer was thought to have been dropped from the band back in September after they announced plans to hold auditions for a new lead vocalist.

However, Bloc Party were quick to deny Okereke's axe from the group and posted an image of the lineup which included the singer alongside the caption: "Bloc Party is still Bloc Party."

Okereke has now revealed that a new Bloc Party album with himself on lead vocals will be released later this year, during an interview with Zane Lowe on Radio 1 this morning (January 3).

During Bloc Party's recent hiatus, Okereke debuted his new solo single 'What Did I Do', which features Lucy Taylor.
