Well, according to this report anyway.

Ahhh. Just like the old days! :-)

Legendary drummer GINGER BAKER insists he will never agree to another 
reunion of 1960s supergroup CREAM, because he can't stand to be the 
same stage as frontman JACK BRUCE.
The SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE star insists Bruce has a split personality, 
and has dubbed his personas DR JEKYLL and MR HYDE after the famous 
book by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON.
Baker was thrilled to take to the stage with Bruce and guitarist ERIC 
CLAPTON last year (05) in London, because it felt like a return to 
their heyday, but subsequent shows in New York City proved less 
enjoyable thanks to Bruce's behaviour.
He says, "When he's Dr Jekyll, he's fine... it's when he's Mr Hyde 
that he's not.
"I tell you this - there won't ever be anymore Cream gigs because he 
did Mr Hyde in New York last year.
"He shouted at me on stage and turned up his bass so loud that he 
deafened me on the first gig. That was the end.
"The Albert Hall gig was like 1966 - wonderful. And the first night 
in New York, Jack became Mr Hyde. He sort of took over, and he played 
so loud it was ridiculous."

surprises me any...
The real tragedy is there will now be no chance of a BBM reunion. :-P
