I put together a list of links to websites that were selling tickets to The Blackout’s farewell tour at lunchtime when people were annoying the band members by asking for links, and since then I’ve been checking them all every hour or so and crossing out the ones that have sold out. At this point...

I’ve only now managed to read through the amazing comments that you have been sending us. I’m honored and humbled that The Blackout had even the slightest impact in your lives. From day one it’s you guys who have kept us going, you’ve picked us up when we were down, partied with us when we were up and put your money where our mouths were on two separate occasions.

  Our fans are a special breed, they look after one another and build friendships that become as tight as family. Fans are ultimately what make a band and because of that, The Blackout is a joy to be in.

  Sadly, we’ve come to a place where we need to and want to move on to the next chapter. The Blackout has taken up a 3rd of my life, before the band was bad haircuts (*worse haircuts), spots, school, riding bikes and shitting myself. Needless to say taking the next step is excitingly scary.

  But it’s not over yet, not by a long shot. There’s the small matter of throwing five wakes for The Blackout. We invite you all to come dance, sing and sweat with us to celebrate all that you’ve allowed us to achieve. We thought it only apt that we end where we began and we’re going to make the Merthyr show something special, something to remember.

  So again, thank you all for your support over the years. You’ve allowed me to live my dreams and for that I’ll be eternally grateful.
