Reports are beginning to surface that "Solid Bronze - Great Hits" could spell the end of a 12 year long career for The Beautiful South.

Rumors are rife that lack of public popularity and the failure to find a new female singer will lead to the band canceling a proposed tour to promote the forthcoming "Great Hits" album.

It has also been suggested that Paul has written plenty of new lyrics to continue, but the band are currently not sure where the future lies...
