The band had announced in May 2023 they were splitting, telling fans on Instagram: “Being in Sum 41 since 1996 brought us some of the best moments of our lives. We are forever grateful to our fans both old and new, who have supported us in every way.
“It is hard to articulate the love and respect we have for all of you and we wanted you to hear this from us first.
“Sum 41 will be disbanding. We will still be finishing all of our current upcoming tour dates this year, and we’re looking forward to releasing our final album ‘Heaven :x: Hell’, along with a final worldwide headline tour to celebrate.
“For now, we look forward to seeing all of you skum**** on the road and are excited for what the future will bring for each of us.”
