A-Ha Calling It Quits

A-Ha announced yesterday that they were calling it quits after 25 years as a band:

The group have announced they will mount a farewell tour before disbanding. Only the final date, in Oslo on 4 December 2010, has so far been confirmed.

“We are retiring as a band, not as individuals,” the band reassured fans in their statement.

“Change is always difficult and it is easy to get set in one’s ways. Now it is time to move on.”

The fact that A-Ha was still together was news, which is what makes this news. *rimshot* Thanks, folks — I’ll be here all week. Remember to tip your waiter, and try the veal.

If you’d still like to try and make their farewell concert, on December 4, 2010 in Oslo, Norway, tickets went on sale today at 10am Central European Time, or around 3am here.
