In more Charlatans news, this Sunday, May 10th marks the 30th anniversary of the mad classic "The Only One I Know." The band revealed on social media that they're planning to mark the anniversary Sunday by sharing a demo of the iconic single. So stay tuned.
Update: Whoops -- The Charlatans have determined "The Only One I Know" was originally issued May 14th, 1990 and not May 10th. Thus the 30th anniversary unveiling of the demo will take place a few days later than previously planned. Check back with them on Thursday to hear the demo!

All dripped up with nowhere to go! Not #Infected with the plague thankfully but a very nasty throat / chest infection that is excruciatingly painful. I’m sure our wonderful NHS staff will have me nursed back to health very soon. Your messages are so kind xxx pic.twitter.com/LPYpX7uag6— THE THE (@thethe) April 27, 2020
