"We consider ourselves remarkably fortunate to have lived out this dream" Wild Beasts discuss their split
After 15 years together, Wild Beasts have announced their split as they tell 麻豆社 6 Music
After 15 years together, Wild Beasts have announced that they'll be 'coming to an end'. Forming in 2002, the band have released five acclaimed albums together - with the last as 2016's 'Boy King'.
The band have shocked fans by announcing their sudden split yesterday morning - but promising that announcements for "celebrations" will follow.
"Wild Beasts are coming to an end," they said in a statement. "Our hearts and minds have been devoted to the band since we were teenagers. We've created something quite of our own and built a body of work which we stand by as heartfelt and true. The four of us have decided, for our own reasons and in our own ways, that it is now time to leave this orbit."
They continued: "We're care takers to something precious and don't want to have it diminish as we move forward in our lives. Thank you for your love and energy and for helping us make it what it is. We consider ourselves remarkably fortunate to have lived out this dream. Before we go, we'd like to celebrate with you and we'll be in touch in the morning with further announcements."
