Chumbawamba Are Making A Comeback Chumbawamba split in 2012 after three decades in music. And Chumbawamba have announced they are returning with a film on the way and a reissue of their 1997 hit, which remains their most successful song of their career. The dance-rock number reached number two on the UK Singles Chart, and topped the charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, and made it into the top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Frontman Dunstan Bruce has insisted that once their tell-all documentary lands, he won’t need to take anymore interviews. He said: “We have just finished a documentary about Chumbawamba. It has taken five years to make and that film will answer a lot of questions.
