“The time has come for us to take a good, long break from touring and making records together. When we do reconvene, that will be a glorious day. And the truth is, we don’t know when that’s gonna be,” frontman Nicholas Petricca said at the start of the clip.
He went on to share how grateful he is to Walk the Moon‘s guitarist Eli Maiman and drummer Sean Waugaman, as well as all the support they’ve received from fans.
“This summer will mark 18 years since I started the band that would change its name to Walk the Moon — half my life ago,” Nicholas said. “For half of my life, this band has been the main focus of my creative love and energy.… It is an enormous act of love to carefully lift something like this from the center of our lives and place it gently to the side, out of focus, and let it rest for a moment. It’s a choice we make powerfully, to follow our truth, to make space for new creations, for family, to serve our well-being, and in the long run, even serve the well-being of Walk the Moon.”
He announced that the group’s final show will be livestreamed around the world and that they would release new music as a parting gift for their fans. He also shared that the members were working on their own creative endeavors, teasing his new “solo project universe” and a “musical collaboration” from Eli.
