Les Incompetents have decided to called it a day, despite frontman frontman Billy Bell recovering from the attack which left him in a coma.

The band made the announcement through their Myspace page and said that they already had the split planned before Billy’s attack due to musical differences.

They said in the statement: "The rumours are true...the six of us are no longer going to be playing together. Les Incompénts as Les Incompétents will cease to exist. Our original plan was to do Wireless, a few more festivals and some goodbye gigs, a plan which went a rye when all the other stuff that happened.

This still stands, and we want to thank you all for the good times. They will never be forgotten. At the moment, although Bill's getting better all the time he's still not up to gigging. But when he is, it's more than likely that our good friends at WayOutWest or White Heat will provide us with some form of goodbye gigs, and we hope you can all come. So this is kind of what was always, in our minds. It's happening but just in a different order, due to unforeseen circumstances.

You might be wondering why, on the cusp of an album, TV performances and other good stuff; we decided to kill the dream. Basically we realised that a time must come in every man's life when he must decide between what is easy and what is right. And by the end of the tour we just realised that there were too many ideas between the six of us to try and hone in to one thing. Meaning that whatever we ended up producing, certain people would be unhappy."
