Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes have announced a hiatus.
Carter and Dean Richardson will take an indefinite break following their previously scheduled tour dates across Europe and the UK this autumn. In a joint statement posted to social media, Carter and Richardson said:
"Nine years, five albums, hundreds of stages shared all over the world and our songs sung with each and every one of you.
"It is with sadness we announce that The Rattlesnakes are taking a hiatus.
"From the deepest lows to highest highs, in grief in anger and in joy, our band has been a celebration of being alive no matter the circumstances.
"We want to send our love and thanks to the band – Gareth, Tank, Elliot & Mitch. It’s been a privilege to share the stage with some of the best musicians we know.
"So please join us all in celebration of the songs that changed our lives.
"Our UK and European Tour will go ahead and we look forward to seeing you all on the dancefloor.
"Frank & Dean"
The duo released their latest album, 'Dark Rainbow', in January. They'll play Brighton's Concorde II and London's Electric Ballroom on October 15 and 16, respectively, followed by a run of shows across mainland Europe. Tickets are on sale now.
Frank Carter, meanwhile, joined Sex Pistols' Paul Cook, Glen Matlock and Steve Jones to perform the legendary punk band's iconic 1977 album 'Never Mind The Bollocks' across the UK last month. They first performed together in August, playing three dates at London's Bush Hall to raise funds to preserve the historic, independent venue.
