Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have today announced the band is going on an indefinite hiatus.
Carter has been otherwise occupied recently after joining Sex Pistols Steve Jones, Glen Matlock and Paul Cook for a series of sold-out shows.
Now The Rattlesnakes, which Carter formed with Dean Richardson after leaving Gallows, are taking a break.
The band said in a statement: “Nine years, five albums, hundreds of stages shared all over the world and our songs sung with each and every one of you. It is with sadness we announce that The Rattlesnakes are taking a hiatus.
“From the deepest lows to highest highs, in grief in anger and in joy, our band has been a celebration of being alive no matter the circumstances.
“We want to send our love and thanks to the band – Gareth, Tank, Elliot and Mitch. It’s been a privilege to share the stage with some of the best musicians we know.
“So please join us all in celebration of the songs that changed our lives. Our UK and European Tour will go ahead and we look forward to seeing you all on the dancefloor. Frank & Dean.”
