Sum 41 announce their split following a final worldwide tour
Canadian pop-punk band Sum 41 have announced that they are splitting up after 27 years together.
"Being in Sum 41 since 1996 brought us some of the best moments of our lives,” the post said. “We are forever grateful to our fans both old and new, who have supported us in every way," they say in a statement, addressing fans who they feel deserve to hear the news directly from themselves.
"Sum 41 will be disbanding. We will still be finishing all of our current upcoming tour dates this year, and we're looking forward to releasing our final album Heaven :x: Hell, along with a final worldwide headlining tour to celebrate".
Formed in 1996, by frontman Deryck Whibley when he was 15, Sum 41 rose to fame in 2001 after they were invited to open MTV’s 20th-anniversary show in collaboration with Tommy Lee and Judas Priest’s Rob Halford. Some of their biggest hits include "Fat Lip" and "In Too Deep".
The release date for Heaven :x: Hell is yet to be announced.
