David Byrne vocal track from Talking Heads' 'Psycho Killer'
Listen to frontman David Byrne's creepy isolated vocals from Talking Heads' timeless 1977 signature track, 'Psycho Killer' here.
faroutmagazine.co.ukHere’s the latest I can share based on recent entertainment coverage.
- David Byrne has been performing “Psycho Killer” live again in 2025, marking the first time since around 2006 that he revived the Talking Heads classic on stage. The performances occurred as part of Byrne’s Who Is the Sky? tour, with reports noting a striking stage presentation and a solo spotlight moment during the Pittsburgh opening night.[2][5]
- This revival comes in the context of Byrne’s broader activities around 2023–2025, including occasional reunions with Talking Heads members for specific projects (not a full band reunion) and new solo material such as the album Who Is the Sky? on the horizon in 2025. Media coverage emphasizes that Byrne has stated he’s not pursuing a full reunion or new Talking Heads records, despite renewed visibility for the band’s legacy.[3]
If you’d like, I can pull more details on:
- setlists from the latest Who Is the Sky? shows,
- critical reception of the performances,
- any official statements Byrne or his management gave about future Talking Heads activity.
