I think they are still tinkering with the album and this + family commitments, getting older, Movies and owning a football team has put the tour back.

I think the album will be out early summer with a summer tour of the states outdoor venues first with maybe some arena shows in the fall, Japan in Nov and then Europe Summer in 2006, remember Bounce was released in Sept 2002 and they didnt play europe shows to the following year 2003.

One good thing for UK fans is by next summer the new NEW Wembley Stadium will be open, be great if they could open it.
