The current lineup of UK rock legends Ten Years After have announced that they're splitting up after 10 years together. The quartet will play their final shows in Germany later this year and then, in an unexpected plot twist, will continue with a new lineup. The band made the announcement just two days after performing at the Lahnstein Blues Festival in Germany.
The band's statement, headlined "Thank you and goodnight", reads, "After 10 years of touring and recording together, the current lineup, comprising founder members Chick Churchill (keyboards) and Ric Lee (Drums); Marcus Bonfanti (Guitar/Vocals) and Colin Hodgkinson (Bass) have decided, amicably, to finish playing together at their last dates in November respectively at HSD, Erfurt and Scala, Leverkusen.
