They shared a photograph of The musician from their 2012 tour, spending a Day Off in The snow-capped Andes.

" We had a Day Off and Steve suggested we go climbing, " The Band said. " So we did and it was a completely magical experience.

" Far more magical than staring at The Hotel wall all day (which is probably what we'd have done otherwise).

" Steve Made Things happen, in his life and in The Band . We'd very much like to think that he's back in those mountains now, on The Next stage of his adventure. "

Pulp are due to go back On Tour this summer for a series of reunion shows.

" I think if you are in A Band that are popular then you might as well enjoy it. " He Said .

" That's what we always wanted to do and I don't think there is anything wrong with being silly. You'd be throwing away a bit of a golden Opportunity - you might as well be a librarian all of your life. "

After The Band went on hiatus in 2002, Mackey co-wrote and produced songs for artists including MIA (Galang, Sunshowers), Florence + The Machine (Kiss With A Fist) and Arcade Fire (Everything Now ).
