Talking Heads pose together as 80s band reunite for the first time in over 20 years after their bitter split

Talking Heads reunited on Monday at a Q&A at Toronto International Film Festival, for the first time in over 20 years.

The iconic eighties band was made up of frontman David Byrne, bassist Tina Weymouth, drummer Chris Frantz and guitarist Jerry Harrison.

They formed in 1975 and reached critical and commercial success, creating hit songs like Psycho Killer and Once in a Lifetime.

However, they announced their split in December 1991, with the bandmembers excluding David briefly continuing touring as Shrunken Heads.

The came together this week for the 40th anniversary of their concert film, Stop Making Sense, which debuted in 1984.

After a screening of the movie, they had a Q&A with filmmaker Spike Lee, where Chris said: 'It’s so good to be here with my bandmates tonight. It’s been a long time.'

However, according to the LA Times, all four members sat in separate rows to watch the film, but claimed '[no] tensions were on display'.

Jerry recently said that working together on the re-worked film had been a 'healing experience' for the group. 

He said: 'We get along OK. It’s all very cordial and whatever. It’s not like we’re all best friends. But everybody’s very happy to see this film coming back out.

'We’re all united in the fact that we really love what we did here. So that kind of helps us talk to one another and get along.'

When the group split, Chris said that their breakup had been caused by David and that he had learned his bandmate was leaving from a Los Angeles Times article.

He said at the time: 'As far as we’re concerned, the band never really broke up. David just decided to leave.

'We were never too pleased about the way David handled the situation.' 

David has spoken about his regret over the way the band disbanded, telling People last month: 'As a younger person, I was not as pleasant to be around. When I was working on some Talking Heads shows, I was more of a little tyrant.

'And then I learned to relax and I also learned that, collaborating with people, both sides get more if there’s a good relationship instead of me telling everybody what to do.

'I think [the end] wasn’t handled well. It was kind of ugly. I have regrets on how that was handled. 

'I don’t think I did it in the best way, but I think it was kind of inevitable that would happen anyway.'
