Sum 41 are set to call it a day – but they’re going to be giving fans
the chance to say goodbye properly.
The Canadian pop-punk legends – who headlined the Kerrang!
Tour in 2016 – announced today (May 8) that they’re going to be disbanding,
following the release of final album Heaven :x: Hell and a farewell tour.
“Being in Sum 41 since 1996 brought us some of the best moments
of our lives,” reads a statement from the band. “We are forever grateful to our
fans both old and new, who have supported us in every way. It is hard to
articulate the love and respect we have for all of you and we wanted you to
hear this from us first.
“Sum 41 will be disbanding. We will still be finishing all of
our current 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. Details will be announced as soon as we have them.
“For
now, we look forward to seeing all of you skumfuks on the road and are excited
for what the future will bring for each of us.”
