Mumford and Sons hint at not making another album after ‘Babel’

The band joked with fans last night at intimate homecoming set at London's Roundhouse

Mumford and Sons joked with fans that they might not make another album last night (September 24) at an intimate homecoming show at London’s Roundhouse last night.

After one fan heckled the band, shouting that it had taken “ages” to make the follow up to their 2009 debut ‘Sigh No More’, multi-instrumentalist Ben Lovett apologised, saying that he’d “try harder” with the next album, “if there is a next album”.

The show, part of the iTunes festival, marks the band’s first gig on home turf since the release of their new album ‘Babel’ and their first London gig since their massive Hyde Park show with Arcade Fire in June 2011.
