Irish band Kodaline announced on Thursday that they are splitting up.
After nearly a decade together and four albums, the band announced on social media that "it's time to say goodbye."
The group from north Co Dublin came together in 2005, originally under the name 21 Demands. They have produced three Irish number one albums, and have been featured on television shows, including Grey's Anatomy and The Vampire Diaries.
Their four albums are In a Perfect World (2013), Coming Up for Air (2015), Politics of Living (2018), and One Day at a Time (2020).
In a TikTok post, the band said: "I know this may 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 playing shows across the world, it really has been the stuff of dreams."
Adding that they wanted it to "end on a high", they announced that they will record a fifth and final album before they disband.
