Irish rock band Kodaline announced that they will be parting ways after releasing the group’s fifth and final album.
The band, which is composed of Steve Garrigan, Vincent May, Mark Prendergast and Jason Boland, spoke about their disbandment through a video on the band’s Facebook page on Thursday, Oct. 9.
‘After over a decade together, we’ve made a difficult decision to say goodbye to Kodaline. We know this might come as a surprise, and it’s definitely bittersweet for us too,’ the band members say in the background, as clips of their performances flash in the video.
‘What we’ve shared with you has changed our lives forever. From busking on the streets of Dublin to playing shows across the world, it really has been the stuff that dreams are made of,’ they continued.
Without disclosing the reason for their split, the band said they are ending ‘on a high’ by recording their final album as Kodaline. Further details on the album have yet to be announced as of this writing.
‘We are and will always will be forever grateful for your love and support,’ they added. ‘It’s been a journey that we’ll never forget. And we hope the music stays with you long after we’re gone.’
Kodaline, which was formerly known as 21 Demands, is best known for their hit songs ‘All I Want,’ ‘Brother,’ ‘High Hopes’ and ‘The One.’ /ra
