Belle & Sebastian just posted the following MySpace bulletin, announcing their decision to break-up, as well as some tour dates for a farewell tour.
Date: Apr 1, 2007 3:51 AM
Subject: Calling it quits, farewell tour.
Body: Greetings friends,
This decision was made with quite a heavy heart, but the gang has decided that it’s time for Belle & Sebastian to split up. It’s been 11 years since we wrote our first record, and alas all good things must come to an end.
However, we’re not about to say good-bye without saying farewell to our beloved friends. This summer, we will be embarking on a farewell tour, which will include gigs on both sides of the pond.
We will be joined by our dear friend Isobel Campbell for this tour, and Stuart David may very well make a few appearances. So far, we have the following dates scheduled:
