Irish band Hometown have announced they are taking a break from their music.
The six-piece band was formed by Louis Walsh in 2014 and have had a string of hits – they even featured on the latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soundtrack.
In a statement, the boys revealed that they will pursue their own singular interests and will remain best friends, but fail to mention anything about coming back together in the future.
“A message for our fans… Hi guys, first of all we want to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for all the support over the last 3 years,” it read.
“We have done some amazing things, from number one singles to sold out shows, trips around the world and so much more, and it’s all down to the support you have all shown us.
“We regret to say that at this point in our career we have decided to take a break and pursue our own thing individually.
“We hope you all understand that it is not a decision we have taken lightly but due to many things out of our control it is the best thing for us at this moment in time.

“We can’t express enough how much we appreciate everything you’ve done for us, our lives have changed so much and we can’t wait to take you on our individual journeys.
“As a band we remain the best of friends and look forward to supporting each other in whatever we go on to do.
“Thank you all for taking the time to read this, and again, we hope you understand. Lots of love, Brendan, Cian, Dayl, Dean, Josh and Ryan.”

Speaking to Goss.ie, an insider said the guys wanted to go their separate ways and do different things.
“They tried to make it work but at this stage all the want to do different things,” they said.
“There’s a few solo projects coming up in the next few months and Louis will be working with them still but it’s doubtful they will ever reunite.”
