Australian band Powderfinger to quit after final tour

|

SYDNEY (Reuters) – One of Australia's biggest rock bands, Powderfinger, is calling it quits after 21 years, announcing plans Friday to disband later this year after a final Australian tour.

The band, which released its seventh studio album last year, said it had been an "agonizing decision" but they had decided to call it a day after their "Sunsets" tour.

"With the completion of our last album, "Golden Rule," we feel that we have said all that we want to say as a musical group," the band said in a statement on its website. Powderfinger was formed in 1989 and has had a steady line-up since 1992 of vocalist Bernard Fanning, guitarists Darren Middleton and Ian Haug, bassist John Collins and drummer Jon Coghill.
