"I believe you are waiting for the official word. So here it is. The news is that we have indeed decided to call the it a day with The Open. We leave the two records that we are very very proud of and memories that will remain in our hearts forever. Some of us will continue on our path through music. Some of us will not. We all wish each other the greatest of luck. No excuses, no regrets, no big philosophical kiss off, its just the end of one journey and the start of another. Bless you all for your support over these last years and goodbye. Steve, Jon, Jim, Alan and Roger."

First the 22-20s and now The Open. God this year sucks.
