Phil Lesh & Bob Weir end Furthur as Dead reunion talk heats up

Grateful Dead stars Phil Lesh and Bob Weir have disbanded their jam group Furthur. The split news has fuelled rumours suggesting the two veteran rockers are planning a Dead reunion to mark the band’s 50th anniversary next year (15).
The break-up has been confirmed on Furthur’s website in a post that reads: “To our loyal Furthur fans and members of the Furthur community at furthur.net, we’d like to thank you for a terrific ride. We’ll be closing up shop at furthur.net, and heading onward.
“Thanks for making the Furthur community a great place to hang out, and for coming out to the shows. We’ll all be keeping very busy over the foreseeable future, and it’s time to let Furthur take a bow. We enjoyed the ride more than we can possibly express.”
Weir and Lesh formed Furthur in 2009.
