Supergrass Split Up
The band call it a day as Danny and Gaz go on to collaborate with Air.
Singer Gaz Coombes and drummer Danny Goffey are expected to continue working together after launching The Hotrats last year and announcing yesterday on the BBC that they’re set to work with Air on the first live performance of the ‘Virgin Suicides’ soundtrack.
A statement from the band read:
"Thanks to everyone who has supported us over the years. We still love each other but, cliche notwithstanding, musical differences have led to us moving on and of course we all wish each other well in the future."
The band’s four final dates are as follows:
June
8 Glasgow Barrowlands
9 Manchester Academy
10 London O2 Academy Brixton
11 Paris La Cigalle
Tickets go on sale this Friday (April 16) at 9am.
