Wolfmother to split?

Wolfmother

Wolfmother

Tensions are supposedly high in the rockers' camp

Wolfmother are rumoured to be splitting up after the band played a tense live show in Australia - and then their manager said that they would be releasing a statement about their status soon.

The rockers played a show at the Splendour In The Grass festival in Byron Bay on Sunday (August 3), with fans reporting that the band looked tense and uncommunicative with each other.

An anonymous source told Undercover.com.au that there had been issues between frontman Andrew Stockdale and the other band members, Chris Ross and Myles Heskett.

The band's manager, John Watson, told the website that a statement would soon be issued about the band's status. He refused to confirm or deny whether the band were set to split up.

"I can't make any comment other than to say as soon as the band has clear future plans they will issue a statement, and we hope to be able to do that in the next week or two," he said.
