Sadly, James Blake has to hang up his headphones and vacate his BBC Radio 1 Residency seat, alongside SOHN (boo), to make way for the likes of Kaytranada, Flying Lotus and Jon Hopkins (yay!).
Fortunately, you can still cling on to his final set, which is up on the Radio 1 website here.
In his set, he spins D'Angelo, Kanye West and some 1-800-Dinosaur noises, as well as some Christmas classics - think Nat King Cole and Art Garfunkel.
If you can't stomach closing the final chapter on his Residency takeover, kill some time by checking out his set from Pitchfork Music Festival Paris below.
