Bloc Party react to Oasis split

Bloc Party have revealed they had to tell fans that Oasis wouldn't be coming on after them in Paris last Friday. The band split just before they were due to play at the Rock en Seine concert. Bloc Party front man Kele and drummer Matt said they didn't know while they were on stage how serious it was.

I understand you had to break the news to the crowd in Paris that Oasis had split up the day before you played the Leeds Festival? Is that right?

The Mercury Music Awards are the week after next. What's that occasion like?

Have you ever thought about that? If somebody came in and offered to do a soundtrack, would you consider it?

October's a big month for you guys, heading out on one of your most extensive UK tours. Have you got anything special in store or are you trying to reach the places you haven't been for a while?
