BREAKING NEWS --- In March, the sonic assault of husband- and wife-team Alexei Perry and Dan Boeckner - having again criss-crossed the planet suddenly announced they were canceling additional EU tour dates to an urgent health matter. Without further explanation, dates were canceled and never rescheduled. Tonight a simple statement was released announcing the end of the band, thanking Handsome Furs' rabid fan base - of which RSL counts itself amongst. These are really bad bits of news, not only are we losing one of my favorite live acts going but this was one of the last vestiges - a reminder of how great Wolf Parade were. Even worse is if this final announcement is in some way health related. Dan and Alexei are good people. I really wish them both the best in whatever comes next for them...
With a heavy heart the time has come to let all of you know that Handsome Furs are no more.
The most important thing that needs to be said right now is how extremely grateful we are to all the fans all over the world that showered us with love and support over the years. Thank you for everything! It's been an incredible 6 years and we owe it all to you.
