Arab Strap Confirms Split: "Everybody likes a happy ending!"

Arab Strap have issued a statement on their website confirming their break-up and announcing a farewell tour. The dates for the U.K./European tour will be posted over the weekend.

"There's no animosity, no drama, we simply feel we've run our course and The Last Romance seems to us the most obvious and logical final act of the Arab Strap studio adventure. Everybody likes a happy ending!" - Arab Strap

Maybe it was time to end things if they couldn't muster more enthusiasm. Even after all their years together (and some apart), Tears For Fears still managed to put love in the joke.
