Adrian Belew discusses the future of King Crimson offshoot BEAT

Adrian Belew has indicated that the future of the King Crimson offshoot group, BEAT, remains uncertain. Belew stated that the band will not be able to make decisions regarding their next steps until after the end of next year, citing the heavy individual obligations of members such as Steve Vai and Tony Levin.

The group, which features Belew and Levin, was formed to perform music from the acclaimed 1980s era of King Crimson. While the original intent was to tour this specific repertoire, the members are currently balancing other professional commitments. Belew noted that he expects to have more clarity on his own schedule and the band's direction by January.

BEAT is currently on tour, with Terry Bozzio stepping in on drums to replace Danny Carey, who is focused on his duties with Tool. The current performances include material from the 1980s era as well as songs from the 1995 album Thrak.
