In a video message to fans – UK rock royalty, You Me At Six, today announce their split. The message came in a highlight reel-type of video to fans in which the band visits a cemetery and passes by headstones with their assorted albums engraved on them, including a final headstone with the band name on it reading 2005-2025. Watch the video here:
Frontman Josh Franceschi says “When we started YMAS we were kids. We only ever wanted longevity, to travel and to experience life as a group of friends. We feel like on the eve of our 20th anniversary as a band, now is a good time to call time. We’re in a fortunate position where our fans still want to see us live and come celebrate the life of this band. So that is what we will do for 2024 and 2025. We can’t wait to see our fans on the road”
Over a career that spans 20 Years, You Me At Six had some amazing career highs including two Number One albums, world tours that saw them perform to thousands, streams that recently topped over a billion worldwide and faces that have graced the covers of multiple magazines across the globe.
