James are to release a DVD of the Manchester gig from their latest tour.
The tour was the band’s last with vocalist Tim Booth.
The DVD is expected to be released in February.
Booth has left the group to concentrate on other musical projects, NME.COM reports.
James were joined onstage at the Manchester gig by former band members Larry Gott and Andy Diagram.
James bassist Jim Glennie says the remaining members of the group plan to continue with the band.
He said: “I’m sure you’ve all heard the news that Tim is leaving, and I know this will have had all of us reaching for our Kleenex and wondering what is going to happen next.
“There’s no need for me to state the importance of Tim’s contribution to James over the past twenty years, and I don’t want to downplay the effect of his leaving, but in our true bloody-minded style, James will continue.
“The history of this band has been a battlefield of near-disasters overcome by a passion and self-belief bordering on arrogance, and an unstoppable determination that’s pulled us through the very worst of times…and here we go again!
“It’s difficult for me to give exact details as there is a lot we’ve not decided yet, but rest assured, you haven’t seen the last of James, and I think we’ve got one or two surprises in store for you.
“This just leaves me to thank Tim, and wish him all the very best for the future. Enjoy the rest of the tour and see you in the new year.”
