(die) Pilot's days may be numbered

Although no official word has been handed down, it sounds like (die) Pilot may be on its last legs. "We have had a lot of crap to deal with in the past few months," reports frontman Eugene Brown. "And we do not know if we will continue forward in 2009."...

"Even though we may not continue with this project," adds Brown, "we would still like people to hear what we worked very hard on last year." I can't imagine that I'm not alone in hoping that these guys don't go gently into that good night.
