Sons Of Kemet Announce Farewell Shows, “Closing This Chapter Of The Band’s Life”
British jazz troupe Sons Of Kemet have announced that their previously announced summer 2022 shows will be their last ones “for the foreseeable future.” Posting to social media, the band’s (admittedly vague) statement reads: “This year will be the last chance to see us in the form to which you’ve grown accustomed. After 10 years we have decided that from the end of our scheduled 2022 shows we will be closing this chapter of the band’s life for the foreseeable future. We’re excited to play our remaining gigs for you and to make this summer a fitting send off.”
The band’s drummer Tom Skinner has, of course, recently been playing in the Smile with Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood. Their most recent album was last year’s Black To The Future. Check out the band’s statement and remaining tour dates below.
