UGH! Terrible news...
For the Afghan Whigs, the long-distance relationship just wasn't working.
The soulful rockers, who formed 14 years ago while attending the University of Cincinnati, have called it quits after six albums.
"It was a blast," the band said in a statement issued Tuesday (February 6) through Columbia Records. "We'd like to thank everyone who took the ride with us and let us ride with them."
With the members living in different states different states for nine years, the "distance, which for so long kept the band fresh, began to work against them," the statement said.
