Sum 41 have shared a new video showing some of the highlights of their last-ever gig as a band on January 30.

The Canadian pop-punk legends said one last goodbye to their fans via two sold-out nights at the Scotiabank Arena, and wrote afterwards that, “It still hasn’t set in that this was the final show. What an emotional night.”

This new heart-warming clip is filled with hugs, smiles and confetti aplenty, with the soundtrack of Heaven x Hell track Radio Silence (‘Light up the air / Show me you care’) proving a particularly apt choice.

In a new interview with their local Billboard Canada to coincide with the band’s last dates, frontman Deryck Whibley reflected on Sum 41 bringing things to a close on such a high: “There’s a story there, and I’m proud of the whole story,” he said. “It’s a validation of everything we’ve been working for, from playing in the basement as teenagers to now – here we are. We’ve gone through all the ups and downs, sticking through it all and getting to a point where we could write our own ending the way we wanted to.”
