The Stills Announce Split

The Stills have announced that they are calling it a day. After eleven years of performing and recording together, the Canadian rockers have decided to split up, announcing the news in an extended post on their publicity company's website.

The statement from the band read: “How does one go about writing a message like this? I don't know, but I will do my best.”

“We have been silent for many months now, discussing amongst ourselves how and when to announce this news, as we've needed some time to think it over and let the dust settle, so we hope you can understand our silence.”

The message continued to speak of the ‘love’ and ‘respect’ that the members still feel towards one another, claiming that the decision to end the band was entirely amicable. It said: “After the better part of a decade together, several months ago we sat down and decided to disband The Stills and part ways. Simply put, The Stills have broken up.”

"We love each other, we have taught each other, and we've grown up together, through all kinds of madness and years and twists and turns, and we spent the better part of the last year trying to keep it going for each other, out of love for one another and out of respect for our long past together. But ultimately, the best decision for each one of us, and in order for each of us to live fully, creatively, and freely, being true to our hearts, this had to happen.”

The Stills released three studio albums during their eleven-year stint, the most recent of which was 2008’s ‘Oceans Will Rise’.
