FAITH NO MORE

Reunion?

MTV.com is reporting: Thanks to a press release touting singer Mike Patton's involvement in the "major motion film Crank 2: High Voltage," we know that FAITH NO MORE - the much-celebrated, much-missed art-rock act that he fronted from 1989 until its dissolution in 1998 - are finally reuniting.

That news was, er, broken, in the final line of the press release sent late Monday night, which listed Patton's upcoming performance schedule, including a stop at the Coachella festival and "the highly anticipated reunion tour with Faith No More in Europe this summer." Needless to say, long-suffering FNM fans were pumped.

But is the news true? MTV News contacted Patton's publicist, who told us that yes, the Faith No More reunion is happening ... and no, they're not going to be playing any dates in the US (sorry, Coachella fans). This is will be a strictly European affair.

Patton won't be doing any interviews to promote the tour, and it's not exactly clear who will be in FNM this time around: Presumably original singer Chuck Mosely (who Patton replaced after Mosely was booted for erratic behavior) won't be on board, although it's unclear whether epically-maned guitarist Jim Martin, who left the band in the early '90s under less-than-friendly circumstances, will be coming.
