Theatre of Tragedy to retire

After seventeen years Norway’s Theatre of Tragedy will retire in October 2010 as all of the members wish to focus on their personal and family lives. Their forthcoming album and tour will be their last.

The band’s statement reads: “Theatre of Tragedy has decided to call it a day and close down. This has not been an easy decision to make and we have thought about this for a long, long time. We finally agreed to this during the production of our latest album Forever Is The World

“Theatre of Tragedy will officially come to an end on October 2nd 2010, exactly 17 years after we started making music together.

“Over the years all of us have strived to combine the Theatre with everyday life but in the end it has proven more and more difficult. We have come to appreciate our family lives and jobs much, much more, which makes it very hard to continue this life of rock’n'roll on the road.

“We know that some of you will probably be very disappointed, but we also hope you will continue to listen to our music, which all of you learned to appreciate and love so much.

“We want to thank every one of you for all your support over the past 17 years! Theatre of Tragedy wouldn’t have been possible without you!

“Be sure to catch us on the last Theatre of Tragedy shows ever this year! The final gig will take place on October 2nd in Stavanger, where it all began.

“Our music will live on… and forever is the world.”
