Matt Tong 'may not return to Bloc Party'
Matt Tong may not come back to music even if the rest of Bloc Party decide to.
Bloc Party could lose drummer? Bloc Party drummer Matt Tong has suggested that he may turn his back on the music world.

Speaking to the BBC's Subculture show in Stoke, the musician commented on the band's announcement that it will take a break and said that the group will eventually return in some form in the future.

"As for me I don't know, I wouldn't mind trying something else for a while," he added.

However, Tong admitted that not everyone from Bloc Party is considering move away from music, telling the broadcaster: "Kele [Okereke] is an insatiable workaholic and creating is something he is so connected to so you'll definitely hear from him."

The sticksman also said that the band is definitely in need of a break but said that if they do reunite in the future the hiatus will give them ideas for new Bloc Party material.

Last month, Blur guitarist Graham Coxon told NME.com that the band has ruled out doing "anything else" after their much-anticipated 2009 reunion.
