Fans of Delaware emo rockers boysetsfire are in for some sad news - they've announced their demise. The only saving grace is their last ever shows they have planned are in Belfast and Dublin.
In what has been an unfortunate couple of weeks for the the five-piece, guitarist Josh Latshaw has also been involved in a near-fatal accident. Josh was working on a construction site when he fell three stories.
"It is a miracle he is still alive and also not paralyzed," said his brother Jason. "Unfortunately, he does have five fractured vertabrae, a broken neck, two broken hips, a collapsed lung and internal bleeding."
Josh is currently recovering at the University of Maryland hospital, but the band have decided to soldier on with their remaining dates.
Their farewell tour takes them to the UK before heading across the Irish Sea for a date at The Blakc Box, Belfast (September 8) and The Voodoo Lounge, Dublin (September 9).
