Milburn have denied rumours speculating that they are about to split up.
The future of the Sheffield band was called into question after the band pulled out of a New Year’s Eve show (December 31) in their native city at the Threads club night.
Since then their official website forum has been full of speculation about the band's future.
Some fans claimed that band members had told them that they had become “disenchanted with music”, while one post even suggested that frontman Joe Carnall was giving up music to attend Oxford University.
However, speaking to NME.COM today (January 10), a spokesperson for the band categorically denied that the group were calling it a day, revealing that they had being demoing songs for their third album before Christmas.
“They haven’t split,” the spokesperson explained. ”They are continuing writing and looking forward to touring throughout the year, stay posted!”
