The band announced the "incredibly difficult" news that they would be splitting after 14 years together on 8th August 2016.

Sharing a statement, the Toothpaste Kisses five-piece began: "After 14 years as a band we have decided to call it a day. The decision has obviously been an incredibly difficult one, given that The Maccabees has been such a huge part of our lives until now. "

They added: "There have not been fallings out and we are grateful to say that we are not leaving the group behind as a divided force. It has been a rare and absolutely incredible time that we all feel very lucky to have shared".

The band went on to play farewell shows in 2017, which included a special intimate show at Omeara London, and a trio of homecoming dates at London's Alexandra Palace.
