Fat White Family have hit back at what they describe as “baseless tales of implosion” and claims that they have disbanded.The group shared the update on Facebook earlier today (April 30), alongside a link to their recent appearance on the Riley & Coe Live In Session with BBC Sounds.With the caption, the indie group seemed to address recent reports that they had split, and confirm that they are still together and set to embark on the upcoming live shows as scheduled.“Baseless tales of implosion in the gutter press this morning,” they began.“Allow me to clarify a few things… Fat Whites isn’t a band.
