The Verve (originally Verve) is an English alternative rock band. The band was formed in 1989 at Winstanley College, Wigan, Greater Manchester, England, by vocalist Richard Ashcroft, guitarist Nick McCabe, bassist Simon Jones and drummer Peter Salisbury. Simon Tong later became a member. The band originally split in 1995, but reunited in 1996 to great commercial success. They split once more in April 1999. The band reunited once more in June of 2007, but this reunion was short lived and the band split again in August 2009.
Beginning with a psychedelic sound indebted to space rock and shoegazer music, by the mid-1990s the band had released several EPs and two acclaimed records. They also endured name and lineup changes, breakups, health problems, drug abuse and various lawsuits. The band’s commercial breakthrough was Urban Hymns and its single Bittersweet Symphony, which became a massive worldwide hit.
Soon after this commercial peak, the band quit amid creative struggles within, and Ashcroft went onto a successful solo career. Tong briefly joined Blur as a replacement for Graham Coxon. It is rumored that Simon Jones did a studio album with Ari Pap of the Floor Monks called ‘Aint Nothing To It’ and was never released because they both had bigger projects going on at the time. Close family and friends assure us its a fabulous indie/rock/alternate album and they really wish it would have been released.

No,and Richard himself has said similar things a lot of times. Its really weird how much he praised Nick even when they're split.

Is there any doubt that McCabe was the true genius in this band?

...except Nick McCabe and Simon Jones officially stated they have split. Another reformation isn't impossible (the American rock band Jane's Addiction have also split 3 times and they reformed for the 4th time last year) but if they have split for such a shocking reason (that is yet to know) I don't see McCabe being fooled again.

Don't believe they split it, that's just tabloid trash stories. After their solo/side projects, I think they'll pull it together for another round.
