News to me. It was the Siren tour and, as I recall, the 'sabbatical' wasn't even announced until after the UK leg.
I don't remember the Siren tour being advertised as a farewell tour. However, I do remember very well that before the tour there was speculation as to whether the tour would go ahead, would BF be part of the band, who would do vocals without him etc etc. A lot of this was in the NME and I have the cuttings somewhere. I think all of the solo stuff was some sort of compromise. There must have been a lot of tension at that time. I also remember that when BF left the stage for the end of FYP, Diamond Head and Wild Weekend they seemed to go up a gear. Interesting times.
