PJ HARVEY sensationally revealed onstage in PARIS last night (December 17) that she is quitting playing live.
The star was performing in front of 350 competition winners at Studio 287 in northern France when she announced: "This is the last show I will ever play."
The comment came in the wake of the likely last ever live show from The Libertines on the same bill.
The comment also echoes the statement made by David Bowie back in 1973 at London Hammersmith Odeon. It later transpired he was only retiring his alter-ego Ziggy Stardust.
PJ Harvey played a set featuring songs covering her entire 13-year career, including 'Victory', 'Me Jane', 'Shame' and the closing 'Meet Ze Monsta'.
I think NME might be sensationalizing this, or misinterpreting her remarks.
I saw her back in October in Providence, she was pretty amazing. The band rocked too. Maybe she just meant it's her last performance with Josh Klinghoffer and the band?
I hope its not another 4 years until we see something from her. The wait from Stories to Uh Huh Her was unbearable.

Shit. I just hope it's not true. She's one of my favorite artists, I saw her live this summer but I really wanted to catch her on a non-festival show. I hope this is just a misunderstanding
