They’ve been broken up since 1988 and they lost lost one of their two singers, Benjamin Orr, to pancreatic cancer in 2000, but a new photo of the four surviving members of American early ’80s New Wave band The Cars suggests a possible reunion.
The photo on the Cars’ Facebook fan page shows Ric Ocasek, Elliot Easton, Greg Hawkes and David Robinson relaxed in the studio, practicing what might be new material, or possibly new versions of an old hit. Drive, Just What I Needed or You Might Think were all singles that did very well on the rock charts of the ’80s, and the band always played to sold-out stadiums.
Since the band broke up, Ric Ocasek has had the most successful career, as a music producer who has worked with Weezer, Bad Religion, No Doubt, Suicide, Hole and Motion City Soundtrack, among others.
