"Jarvis and I remastered Pulp's entire Universal Records back catalogue together just over two years ago at Abbey Road Studios. It was a huge pleasure to do that and review our songs and recordings together.
"There have been wide reports of a full reunion for UK concerts today. However I've decided to continue the work I’m engaged in - music, filmmaking and photography projects, and will not be joining them for these UK shows just announced
"Wishing Candy, Nick, Mark and Jarvis the very best with forthcoming performances and also an enormous thanks to Pulp’s amazing fanbase, many of whom have sent me lovely messages today".
