Rage Against The Machine: 'We have played our last show'

Fans of Rage Against The Machine hoping for another reunion may be in for disappointment, after drummer Brad Wilk has denied that the band have any plans to play live together ever again. 

The political metal heroes split in 2000 before reforming to play Coachella and tour the world for several years, playing huge shows that included headlining Download and Reading & Leeds festival in the UK.

However, speaking to The Pulse of Radio, drummer Brad Wilks said that the band's last performance together at LA Rising Festival in 2011 looks set to be their final ever, reports Blabbermouth. 

"As far as I know, we played our last show in 2011 at the Coliseum, and if that was our last show, that’s a good way to go out.," he said.

"I had sort of had to put it in my head that that band is over in order for me to just move on with my life, to be honest with you, so that’s kind of where that lies. The Coliseum — awesome way to go out."

Meanwhile, guitarist Tom Morello is focussing on his solo career as well as touring with Bruce Springsteen and appearing on Linkin Park's upcoming new album, The Hunting Party. Wilks reently drummed on Black Sabbath's chart-topping album, 13.
