This is from Mojo, April 2006, Page 57:

Wire, meanwhile, is "on an extended lunchbreak", says Colin Newman. "Inactive," says Graham Lewis. In 2005, Bruce Gilbert, 60 this year, let it be known that he'd left the band. Wire's manager Paul Smith insists that there remain four members on the company payroll.

But, as Newman observes, "Another of Bruce's great announcements - that he's made at various times in the past - is you're not allowed to leave."

The rumour is that BG didn't want to play the guitar anymore. It appears that the rest of the band thought that he'd come back after a break, in some role or other. When it became apparent that he wasn't going to, the rest of the band decided to carry on without him.
