One of Britain’s best loved rock bands decide to call it a day…but you’ll get one last chance to see them on tour.
On the year that Thunder celebrate their 20th Anniversary as a band,В we areВ saddened to hear that the band have decided to split up. A statement says:
“we’ve found ourselves becoming increasingly busy with our various activities outside of the band, and we’ve come to the conclusion that there are simply not enough hours in the day to fit it all in. Having discussed it at length, we’ve decided that this is a fitting time for us to hitch up our wagons and ride into the sunset.”
“We’ve therefore decided to give you advance notice that we intend to cease all recording and touring activity, as of the summer of 2009.
“In practical terms, this means that we will cease to be a band as of the summer, but until then it will be more or less business as usual. The 2008 Xmas Show CDs will be released as promised, and the previously announced shows in Europe (February) and Japan (April) will go ahead as planned. We will use these shows, as well as any festival slots we can secure, to make the most of the time left, and say our goodbyes to you.
If this really is the end, Thunder will be sorely missed.
