Runrig is bowing out of the music scene after 45 years.
The band said the decision to split was was “very difficult and heart wrenching.”
“We are now simply at that point in time where longevity and circumstance have to be balanced against what is right for the art and the muse.
“We feel that the time for this decision is now upon us, and we embrace it with a sense of positivity, but tinged with understandable sadness and reflection.”
As individual musicians they will not stop their won writing, recording or performances, “but Runrig in its present form, as we’ve known it for 45 years, will come to an end.”
