X-clusive Embrace "We're Not Splitting!"
Hold the front page and wipe those tears from your eyes. despite the national mediastorm, Danny from Embrace called Xfm in Manchester this morning to clear up the rumours surrounding the band's mooted split.
Early this morning various radio stations and websites reported the news that indie stalwarts Embrace would be splitting following their next album. However, frontman Danny McNamara called Xfm Manchester to set the record straight.
Apparently his quotes were taken out of context and, in news that will make Embrace fans leap for their copies of 'This New Day', confirmed the band aren't splitting.
