The Kinks guitarist and singer Dave Davies has claimed that the band will never reunite.



In an interview with the Daily Mail, Davies explained that he felt the band's legacy would suffer if they decided to perform together again.

"I think the music is so beautiful it shouldn't be tainted," Davies said. "It would be a shame, you don't need to see silly old men in wheelchairs singing 'You Really Got Me'."

Davies's comments come only a number of weeks after his brother Ray claimed that Dave had been "coming around" to the idea of a Kinks reunion.

The siblings have famously shared a tumultuous relationship over the years, and last performed together as The Kinks in 1996.

Peter Quaife, former bassist and founding member of the band, died in June this year from kidney failure.
