Cream on Ice

If you saw Cream during their reunion run in London or New York, consider yourself lucky because it doesn't look like it'll ever happen again. From the reviews I've read and in talking to those that attended, it was a magical occasion. I'll now be holding out for the Blind Faith comeback tour.

Another Cream reunion has been ruled out by bassist Jack Bruce because he can't stand being on the same stage as bandmate Ginger Baker. The trio, Bruce, Baker and Eric Clapton, played shows in London and New York in 2005, but the bass player, who turns 64 today, insists hopes of a world tour and new recordings are far fetched.

He says, "I don't think we'll do another reunion because none of us want to do it. It doesn't mean it won't happen, but at the moment none of us are in love with the idea."

Bruce admits his often-difficult relationship with Baker won't help any future reunion plans: "It's a knife-edge thing for me and Ginger. Nowadays, we're happily co-existing in different continents, with Ginger in South Africa, although I was thinking of asking him to move. He's still a bit too close.

"It's all Ginger's fault. He's a terrible guy. Ask anybody, ask his ex-wife. Although, according to my wife, it's as much my fault as it is his."
