(Rock News Desk) The seeds for Little Angels' reunion were sown at the funeral of former drummer Michael Lee, say the band. The Scarborough outfit last night confirmed they'd got back together and will play at this year's Download festival in Donington, UK, in June.They split after a farewell tour in 1994, and didn't gather again until Lee's memorial service. He'd left the Angels in bad blood in 1991 after his bandmates discovered he'd secretly auditioned for the Cult. He toured the world with Ian Astbury's outfit and went on to play with Page and Plant, among many others. He died of an epileptic seizure in November 2008 at the age of 39.
Now Jepson, Bruce and Jimmy Dickinson, Mark Plunkett and Mark Richardson are raring to go once again – although they haven't said how far their plans have progressed. more on this story
