Sum 41, a Canadian pop-punk band, is splitting up. The band announced in a social media statement on Monday that they will break up after the release of their final album and a farewell world tour, which will mark their 27 years in the music industry and more than 15 million records sold globally. Let’s see about it in detail.
Why is Sum 41 band splitting up?
After 27 years, the band Sum 41 announced its dissolution on Monday, stirring up memories of the early 2000s, when pop punk was commonplace on MTV’s “Total Request Live” and in unforgettable sequences in big-budget blockbusters.
Sum 41’s unexpected decision to split up occurs at a busy period. In addition to performing a number of European festivals in June, they recently received word that they would serve as support on The Offspring’s Summer 2023 US tour, which spans from early August to early September.
Deryck Whibley’s Canadian band, which was part of the pop-punk movement that also featured Blink-182, Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, and Avril Lavigne, was headed by the vocalist with the spiky hair.
Fans liked to sing along to their singles, “Fat Lip” and “In Too Deep,” in the vehicle or while watching them perform live. In addition, the band’s music was used in several well-known early 2000s films, including “Spider-Man,” “Dude, Where’s My Car?” and “Bring It On.”
Cause of the Canadian pop punk band quitting
Sum 41 did not give a reason for breaking up. It said that it will wrap up its tour this year, release the album “Heaven:x: Hell,” and announce a farewell tour to mark the end of its career.
The singers of “Fat Lip” and “In Too Deep” announced their breakup on their website and social media profiles on Monday.
The group announced that they will wrap up their remaining European and American tour dates this summer in anticipation of the release of their last album, “Heaven x Hell.”
The organization stated that details would be released as soon as they are available.
The band claimed that having been a group since 1996 had given them some of their finest experiences as they announced their breakup. Both the Group of the Year in 2003 and the rock album of the Year in 2005 Juno Awards went to the Ontario-based band. Frontman Deryck Whibley, guitarists Dave Baksh and Tom Thacker, bassist Cone McCaslin, and drummer Frank Zummo are the band’s current members.
The band said in Monday’s message posted on Twitter,
“We are forever grateful to our fans, both old and new, who have supported us in every way,”
“It is hard to articulate the love and respect we have for all of you and we wanted you to hear this from us first.”
The band expressed excitement for what each of us may experience in the future as they concluded their message.
Sum41 Band:
Canadian rock group Sum 41 originates from Ajax, Ontario. Deryck Whibley (lead vocals, guitars, keyboards), Dave “Brownsound” Baksh (lead guitar, backing vocals), Jason “Cone” McCaslin (bass, backing vocals), Tom Thacker (guitars, keyboards, backing vocals), and Frank Zummo (drums, percussion, occasionally backing vocals) were the band’s most recent members.
The group was founded in 1996. The rockers made their debut as a NOFX cover band and emerged with bands like Green Day, Blink-182, Simple Plan, All-American Rejects, and Good Charlotte during the early Aughts pop-punk tsunami. Richard Roy, Jon Marshal, and Steve Jocz, the band’s founding members, have subsequently split up, leaving Whibley as the lone surviving original member.
The band has songs like the radio smash “Fat Lip” and the ironic hair-band hymn “Pain for Pleasure,” and The Times previously said they sound “like Blink-182’s bratty little brothers” but with “old-school influences give them some extra charisma.” Throughout their career, they put out three live albums and seven full-length studio albums.
They were nominated for their first and only Grammy Award in 2012 for the hard rock/metal song “Blood in My Eyes.” The winning song was “White Limo” by The Foo Fighters.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band had to cut short their No Personal Space Tour in 2020. They then made a comeback in April 2022 for the Blame Canada Tour, which ran through last August.
In addition, the band launched the Does This Look All Killer No Filler Tour in Europe and Australia with Simple Plan and the Offspring as a nod to their breakthrough 2001 album. Sum 41 announced in March that they will embark on another summer of touring for the Let the Bad Times Roll U.S. tour, which is scheduled to play 24 gigs in August and September throughout the nation.
