Talking Heads frontman David Byrne is admitting some guilt for the breakup of the beloved rock band, telling People magazine that he now has some regrets over its split. “As a younger person, I was not as pleasant to be around. When I was working on some Talking Heads shows, I was more of a little tyrant,” said in the interview published Thursday. “And then I learned to relax, and I also learned that collaborating with people, both sides get more if there’s a good relationship instead of me telling everybody what to do.” Over the years, Byrne’s bandmates have spoken out about the lead singer’s conduct. Co-founder Chris Frantz famously said he had to learn about Byrne’s exit in a newspaper. Now, Byrne admits he didn’t handle the “ugly” end too well. “I have regrets on how that was handled,” he said. “I don’t think I did it in the best way, but I think it was kind of inevitable that would happen anyway.”
