The Thrills get too many support offers

The Thrills have been offered support slots with REM and U2, but singer Conor Deasey says the band need a break from touring.

The Thrills have said they are spoiled for choice when it comes to support set opportunities. As previously reported, the band are due to support REM on their forthcoming European tour. But now U2 want them as a support act too. While honoured to be asked, the band say they will need to take a break from touring sometime soon.

Thrills singer Conor Deasey has told reporters: "There are a few offers coming in that will be hard to turn down but we're going to try to take a break then because I think we need to. It definitely tests your friendships and it's good after the last few years of touring the world together that we still get on well. But, having said that, you don't need to test friendships to those kind of levels so it's good to get away from each other for a while I think."
