Supergrass Split Up 2010-04-12 by Titan50 | 5 Comments | English rock trio Supergrass have split up after seventeen years and six albums, jokingly citing a "17-year itch" as the cause.
In a statement, the band said: "Thanks to everyone who has supported us over the years. We still love each other but, cliché notwithstanding, musical differences have led to us moving on and of course we all wish each other well in the future."
The band were thought to be working on a new album, to be entitled Release the Drones. Their last release was 2008's Diamond Hoo Ha.
Frontman Gaz Coombes and drummer Danny Goffey have been performing as the Hotrats for the past year, and released an album of covers, entitled Turn Ons, in January.
The band are set to play four farewell shows:
Glasgow Barrowland (June 8)
Manchester Academy (9)
London O2 Academy Brixton (10)
Paris La Cigalle (11)
