Band's one-time drummer tells the BBC that he would join them if asked; suggests adding Primal Scream to Coachella.
Would the Reid brothers welcome one-time drummer Bobby Gillespie back into the Jesus & Mary Chain fold for its reunion shows this year?
Bobby Gillespie
That's the question posed by the Primal Scream frontman, who played drums in the band and left in 1985. In an interview with the BBC's 6 Music, Gillespie said, "If they asked me I would play, I haven't played with them since 1985 you know. It's a long time ago, the last time I saw them play was '98 and then they split up three days later."
The Jesus & Mary Chain said last month that they would reunite for a performance April 27 at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, as well as the Summercase Music Festival in Madrid and Barcelona on July 13-14.
Gillespie said that the best way for a full reunion to occur would be for Coachella to invite Primal Scream to play.
"Fantastic, I love them, great friends, heroes of mine, and I am so pleased for them," he said.
