Promoters say that Cream have no further plans to play together following last week's critically acclaimed three night run at New York's Madison Square Garden. Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker originally reformed after 37 years to play four dates at London's Royal Albert Hall back in May. The three New York dates followed last week. All seven concerts sold out within hours of tickets going on sale.
However a spokesman for the band this weekend said the final New York concert again marked a "parting of the ways", and that there were "no future plans" for any Cream events. Clapton is said to have agreed to play with Cream once more because of the failing health of his former band mates. At one of the London shows he told his audience "Thanks for waiting all those years!" However, insiders say the reunion was always meant to be a one off project.
Despite only being together for three years in the sixties, Cream have always enjoyed a large and loyal fanbase, with their three albums selling in excess of 35 million copies.
