   The KLF have announced a temporary "departure from the music business",
   in the wake of rumours that  the  band  is to be permanently dissolved.
   The controversial duo,  last  seen performing with Extreme Noise Terror
   at the BPI awards,  offered  the  following  statement  to NME : "Jimmy
   Cauty and Bill Drummond  left  for  Mexico City  on May 5 to research a
   non-music project,  the  nature  of  which  is  yet  to  be disclosed."
   Drummond and Cauty  are  reportedly  "worn out"  after  producing 6 hit
   singles and the Number One  "White Room"  LP  over  the last 18 months.
   Despite the fact the duo are  renowned  in the music industry for their
   bizarre publicity stunts, the  band's  spokesperson continued to insist
   that "nothing sinister is afoot", as NME went to press.
   However,  insiders  are  conviced  that  Drummond and Cauty,  who  have
   previously released material  as  the  Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu, The
   Timelords and The JAMS,  are  likely  to  end their term as The KLF and
   return after their sabbatical in Mexico under and entirely new guise. "
