Bring Me the Horizon Announce Retirement from Music Production and Touring: “It’s Time for a New Chapter”
In a heartfelt announcement that has left fans stunned, Bring Me the Horizon, one of the most influential bands in modern rock and metalcore, revealed their decision to retire from producing new music and embarking on future tours. The statement was shared through the band’s official social media channels, accompanied by a video message from the band members reflecting on their nearly two-decade-long journey.
The band, fronted by Oli Sykes, expressed gratitude to their loyal fans who supported them through their evolution from metalcore roots to genre-defying experiments in pop, electronic, and alternative music.
“This isn’t an easy decision for any of us, but we’ve reached a point where we feel it’s time to close this chapter of our lives,” Sykes said in the video. “Bring Me the Horizon has been our world for so long, and we couldn’t have done it without you all. But it’s time for us to explore new horizons, both as individuals and artists.”
The band also confirmed that they would honor their remaining tour commitments in 2024, which will include a series of farewell performances in major cities worldwide. “We want to go out on a high note,” guitarist Lee Malia added. “This isn’t goodbye forever; it’s just goodbye for now.”
Fans reacted with a mix of sadness and understanding, with many taking to social media to share their favorite memories of the band’s iconic performances and albums, including Sempiternal and That’s the Spirit.
Despite the retirement from active music production and touring, the band hinted that they may continue to engage in the music world through collaborations, production, or mentorship roles. For now, fans are gearing up for what promises to be an emotional farewell tour.
Bring Me the Horizon’s retirement marks the end of an era in alternative music, but their legacy and influence are certain to resonate for generations to come.
