According to a March posting in Henry's online journal, the classic Weight-era Rollins Band was set to officially reform and tour. He wrote, "t’s Melvin Gibbs on bass, Chris Haskett on guitar, Sim Cain on drums and Theo Van Rock on sound. Actually we have been practicing on and off for months now, slowly getting it together."
