Sheffield band, Milburn, have finally announced their intentions to split up after 7 years together and 2 albums.

Rumours of a rift within the band have been rife but on Friday, Milburn moved to dispel any fears of a major bust-up and clarified that the split was amicable.

The statement on their official website said: “There’s been no malice or falling out between us and we still remain friends and supporters of each other as we move on and explore new musical horizons.”

The quartet comprised of Tom, Koe, Greeny and Louis, paid tribute to their loyal fans and also couldn’t resist directing a parting shot at the media.

“Not everyone in the music media understood us but you the fans did and over the last 2-3 years we’ve shared some amazing experiences that we’ll never forget and we feel very privileged to have done so”.

There will be one final hurrah as the indie rockers are set to perform at Sheffield academy on 24th May. (@Music)
