ROGER Hodgson admits he would love to reunite 70s rock favourites Supertramp provided the band can resolve a mid-wife crisis. Hodgson quit Supertramp in 1983 with the band at its peak, high on hits such as Give A Little Bit, The Logical Song and Dreamer and still enjoying the success of their wildly successful album Breakfast in America, which became one of the biggest selling albums of all time. Officially Hodgson wanted to spend more time with his family, however, it was no secret that he had been unhappy that the wife of his song-writing partner, Rick Davies, had become the band s manager.
Davies reformed a band under the Supertramp banner in 1997 and continues to tour but it was Hodgson, 57, who penned most of the group s 60 million-selling hits. Yet Hodgson says he bears no grudges and wants to get the original line-up back together. I m probably the most open of the lot to the idea, he told me down the phone from a hotel in the Norwegian fjords, another stop on his far-reaching European tour.
We tried it a while back, Rick and I got together in the early 90s and we got on better than ever but it wasn t our relationship that didn t work.
