It’s always a sad day when good bands decide to take a break, mainly because no on really knows how long it’ll be before the group gets back together. Today is a disappointing day for Mumford & Sons fans. The quarter has revealed that they are planning to go on a long hiatus. The band announced that their break is to allow its members to take a break from performing.
Keyboard player Ben Lovett revealed to Rolling Stone that there won’t be anything new coming from the band for the “foreseeable future.”
“There won’t be any Mumford & Sons activities for the foreseeable future following Friday’s (21 September) show. It feels like the last week of school right now, before school holiday when you’re in high school.”
Lovett continued saying that he had no idea when they would reconvene.
“We just know we’re going to take a considerable amount of time off and just go back to hanging out and having no commitments or pressure or anything like that.”
Mumford & Sons’ second studio album Babel was released in September last year, and they’ve been touring since then.
“I don’t think we’ve had, actually, much time in the process to be with other people and living a life outside of the band. I think that’s what’s in place at the moment: to do very little, especially when it comes to Mumford & Sons.”
Overall it sounds like Lovett and his bandmates are just looking to take some time off.
What do you think? Are you a big fan of Mumford & Sons?
