NEWS : a-ha call it a day

a-ha have announced that they will be calling it a day as a band following a farewell tour in 2010.

2010 will mark the 25th anniversary of their debut album "Hunting High and Low" and their debut single "Take on me", they do point out that they will be retiring as a band not individuals so there will probably be some solo work from them in the future, still it is sad that a-ha will be no more :(.
