Talking Heads was considered one of the most successful and appreciated bands in the world from the mid-70's to the end of the 80's and apparently the love for it is very great.
According to reports abroad, the four band members turned down an unprecedented offer to perform together again.
Sources reported to the American "Billboard" magazine that the quartet refused an offer of no less than 80 million dollars from the global concert company Live Nation for it to hold six to eight performances at major festivals and huge concerts.
According to the report, the curator of the Coachella Festival, one of the largest and most important festivals in the world, arrived last year at the Toronto Film Festival, where the band members came especially for the screening of a restored copy of their legendary concert film "Stop Making Sense" (which will be screened in a special screening at Lev Cinema in Tel Aviv this coming Friday).
There, according to him, he felt that "there is no possibility for performances", so he did not submit any offer to them.
According to estimates, the band refused an offer of no less than 10 million dollars to hold two performances at the festival, based on estimates that No Doubt and Sublime will receive this amount in order to hold reunion performances at the upcoming edition of the festival in question.

Throughout the years of its activity, the band released eight albums, most of which were a great commercial success, but the great influence of the band was on various musicians who worked at that time and since then, who were greatly influenced by it.
The band is known for hits such as Psycho Killer, "Burning Down the House" and "Once in a Lifetime". After the band broke up, David Byrne, its vocalist and guitarist, managed to develop a successful solo career, during which he even won an Oscar, a Grammy and a Golden Globe.
