Variety asked Go Go’s Belinda Carlisle whether she has any regrets about putting an end to the band. The singer gave insight into her pivotal decision, revealing:
“It’s done. It has to be done at some point, you know. I think bands can go on too long, and without naming names, there are a few. And singers as well. I always tell my manager, ‘I hope you’re going to tell me when it’s time.’ I don’t think he will have to because I probably will have felt like it’s time for me. I think I have a good sense of that. But, I mean, we did it all. I think that the Rock Hall induction was a really wonderful way to cement the legacy of the band. There’s something to be said for leaving at the top.”
These statements might not come as a surprise to some fans since the singer previously sat down with E! News to reiterate the unlikely Go Go’s reunion, where she said:
“I don’t think so, no. I think it’s done. I mean, everybody has gone on their way. And there is something to be said, we got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”
Even though there might not be a Go Go’s reunion in the cards, the singer wouldn’t say no to a Brandi Carlile collaboration. She added:
“Why not? I think she’s great. We both had a big laugh meeting each other because people confuse both of us — I mean, all the time, still, which is probably annoying to her and annoying to me at times, too, and funny at times as well. But I’m a huge fan of hers. And I would love it; if something appropriate came up, I would be totally into it.”
