The future of Faith No More continues to look bleak. In a new interview with Alternative Nation, keyboardist/vocalist Roddy Bottum revealed that he has no interest in playing shows with the band again.

The alternative metal pioneers have been inactive since 2021, after scrapping tour plans during the pandemic when vocalist Mike Patton began struggling with agoraphobia. While Patton has since returned to performing with Mr. Bungle, Faith No More never regrouped.

Earlier this year, drummer Mike “Puffy” Bordin stated that Patton had gone from being “unable” to “unwilling” to perform with the group. Bottum’s latest comments, made while promoting his upcoming memoir The Royal We (out November 4th), suggest that disinterest now extends beyond Patton.

Bottom offered up:

It’s not just me. I don’t think anyone’s sort of up for it at this point. We had a bunch of shows that we were gonna play, and they got canceled, just for various reasons. But I don’t think the course that we were on has fixed itself. I just don’t see it happening again, honestly. I think we did a really good job. We played a bunch of reunion tours, and I think we did what we kind of set out to do.

So I don’t think anyone’s upset about it or anything. But I mean, for sure, getting back together would mean a big paycheck, but I think all of us are pretty good with what we did, sort of just like, artistically with the band and committing to ourselves and playing with each other. I think we’re all pretty good with the decisions that we’ve made up to now, and I don’t see what could really happen more getting back together and doing more shows.
