Announcing their upcoming separation on Thursday, they wrote:

“Hi Everyone, “After over a decade together we’ve made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Kodaline. We know this might come as a surprise, and it’s definitely bittersweet for us too.

“What we’ve shared with you has changed our lives forever. From busking on the streets of Dublin to selling out shows and arenas across the world, it really has been the stuff that dreams are made of.

“We want to end on a high, so before we say goodbye, we’re heading into the studio one last time, to record our 5th, and final album, as Kodaline.

“We are, and always will be, forever grateful for your love and support. It’s been a journey that we will never forget and we hope the music stays with you long after we’re gone.

“To celebrate the final album and final chapter of Kodaline, we’re going to play in Dublin and Cork next summer. We can’t wait to see everyone. Thanks for all your support over the years it’s been an incredible journey.

“With all our love, Steve, Vinny, Mark & Jay.”
