Funeral For a Friend will visit Australia and Europe next year on a farewell ‘Last Chance To Dance’ tour, which is to bring an end to their fifteen-year career.
“It’s the natural end,” Matthew Davies-Kreye says. “We’ve done everything we set out to do and way more than I could ever have hoped so I’m not upset that it’s run its course.”
“We all felt that ‘Chapter And Verse’ was a pretty decent full stop on an incredible fourteen and half years of making music together.”
The goodbyes start in February across Australia, and move onto Europe in March. A final UK tour then starts in Cardiff on April 5th, with the last gig of their career booked at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire.
