Candlebox are breaking up. The Seattle grunge band, which started in the ’90s and (one hiatus later) kept chugging along into the 2020s, have announced that they’ll release one final album, The Long Goodbye, this August.

"Adam, BJ, Brian, Island and I are all super excited for everyone to hear this record," frontman Kevin Martin said in a statement. "We pushed ourselves creatively as far as our hearts and souls would let us and created something that we’re incredibly excited about and very proud of."

"We can't wait for the world to hear The Long Goodbye, the final chapter in a long and illustrious career for Candlebox," he continued. "One last album on one last tour to wrap up 30 years of rock ‘n’ roll with a nice little bow."

Their farewell tour kicks off this weekend, and includes some headlining shows and 46 dates with 3 Doors Down. Check out that itinerary below. More details about The Long Goodbye will be announced at a later date.
