A ROCK band will host a final gig in Glasgow before splitting up.
The LaFontaines have decided to "call it a day" after nearly 17 years in the music industry.
They revealed the sad news in a message on social media, explaining that their last gigs would take place in London and Glasgow.

The band said: “Here we go ... After 17 incredible years as a band, four albums deep, and countless unforgettable shows, we've made the very difficult decision to call it a day.
“It's been less than easy – this band has been everything to us. It let us create something unique and took us far beyond the bounds of North Lanarkshire, but mostly it brought us more happiness than should be allowed in a lifetime.
“The most important people to thank are you. The folk who showed up to the shows, who listened to the albums, bought the merch, and joined us along the way. You don't last this long as a band without that (genuinely started bubbling writing that bit there).
“It wouldn't be like us to leave before last orders, so let's have one last shindig.
“The final gigs are in London and Glasgow. Tickets are on sale Friday, 6th December. Going to miss you.”
Formed in Motherwell in 2008, the group lineup consists of Kerr Okan, Jamie Keenan, and Darren McCaughey.
Glasgow has a special place in their hearts as they played their very first gig at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, a venue which is synonymous with rising local talent.
The trio has four studio albums to their name, with their latest and last Business As Usual being released in June 2024.
