N*E*R*D is over

N*E*R*D is over

21 March 2005





Radio 1 has some news from the weekend that will disappoint N*E*R*D fans.



We spoke to Pharrell Williams at the launch of the new hand held games console Gizmondo.



He told us exclusively his band are splitting because of a bust up with their management. Here's Pharrell breaking the news.



"N*E*R*D is dead. I don't agree with the management at Virgin Records so we're done."





"Me and Chad still do what we do in the studio, Shay is still our best friend, you know, perhaps we'll do some music for our fans and leak it to the internet or something, who knows?"



"I've been very quiet about it for the last two years. I'm not here to slander or throw dirt, I'm just not happy so therefore N*E*R*D is expired."





We are waiting for a statment from Virgin.
