The marriage of Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore is over.
The pair, who have been married 27 years, released a statement through their label Matador Records explaining their split but also informing that they will honor future touring commitments.
The statement reads as follows:
Musicians Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore, married in 1984, are announcing that they have separated. Sonic Youth, with both Kim and Thurston involved, will proceed with its South American tour dates in November. Plans beyond that tour are uncertain. The couple has requested respect for their personal privacy and does not wish to issue further comment.
The band will play five shows in South America in November, which could mean that their last ever performance might be Sao Paulo, Brazil on November 14.
