Having officially split up in early July, the members of Planes Mistaken For Stars have posted an official explanation:
There are many reasons why we've decided to move on. Financial strain, family obligations, etc. But truly, we just felt it was time. Our love for each other and our music has not diminished. It will always be there. I have no doubt that we could continue to write balls to the wall music. Maybe someday, but for now, it's just time for change.It's been one hell of a ride! The past 10 years have flown by and we've had experiences we could never have dreamed of. Thank you all for being a part of it. And so, Farewell!! We'll see you all soon in a city near you!!
The band has announced some farewell shows.
