Swedish punks Refused have announced their home shows in Scandinavia this December will be their last.
The legendary band reformed this year after a 14 year hiatus and played a series of high-profile festival slots.
But now in an open letter to fans, the group wrote:
“The hatchet is buried, 1998 is not such a terrible memory for us anymore. We’re going home. And we’re doing it in style.”
The band’s final gig looks set to take place at Exel Arena in the band’s hometown of Umea on 15 December.
