“Being in Sum 41 since 1996 brought us some of the best moments of our live. We are forever grateful to our fans both old and new, who have supported us in every way. It is hard to articulate the love and respect we have for all of you and we wanted you to hear this from us first,” they wrote.

“Sum 41 will be disbanding. We will still be finishing all of our current tour dates this year, and we’re looking forward to releasing our final album Heaven :x: Hell, along with a final worldwide headlining tour to celebrate. Details will be announced as soon as we have them.”

“For now, we look forward to seeing all of you skumfuks on the road and are excited for what the future will bring for each of us,” they confirmed.

The band features frontman Deryck Whibley, Dave Baksh, Jason McCaslin, Tom Thacker and Frank Zummo. Deryck remains from the original lineup.

The group signed with Island Records in 1999 and released their debut EP, Half Hour of Power, in 2000. Their hits include “Fat Lip,” “Motivation” and “In Too Deep.”
