I regret to announce that Reuben are unable to play their slot on the 2000 Trees Festival in July, but they would still urge people to go anyway - it should be a great weekend. They are very sorry to disappoint fans who have already bought tickets, as you can imagine Reuben hate cancelling shows. The band are all in good health but the culmination of several pressures just makes it impossible for Jamie to go ahead with it.

The band are not planning any more gigs or releases for the foreseeable future - I should make it clear that the band members are all on amicable terms and are supportive of the need to call a halt.

This seems like a good time to thank everyone who has helped and encouraged Reuben along the way; some of you have been there from the start, others from last week, some are within the music industry, others are simply fans - it doesn't matter which, you are all important and have given great strength to all concerned.

Thank you so much,

Barney

Lawrence is sexy.

 
so is this a hiatus, or possibly more?
it would crush me if it were more, but at the moment all i hope is that Jamie is ok, and if not, I hope that all is well in due course.

What le shit!?? There was me consoling myself when other bands split, saying 'At least Reuben are safe, they're too stubborn to split up'.

What a fool I was.

I really do hope things will iron out, and we can have the beautiful trio back in our lives.
But if not, farewell to the band that became my life.
I remember seeing you first on the Candyfloss and Rock tour, two weeks after having bought Racecar, and being completely blown away by you. Since that night, you became unquestionable my favourite band, and continued to blow me away for the other 12 times I was lucky enough. I have become known for being the kid that likes Reuben. A large percentage of the people into Reuben in the Poole area got into the through me. I spread the love of Reuben like the plauge. I've managed to get my hands on 95% of everything you've ever released, and have various signed pictures, and even one beautiful VFVD frisbee signed by Guy. Your band managed to capture so much of my musical taste, from beautiful acoustic numbers to full out bitter hardcore. You've grown with me, each album a new chapter in my life. This all sounds very over dramatic, but it really is how much Reuben has come to mean to me. I cannot imagine a night out with most of my friends without quoting the studio diaries, you've bought so much joy into all of our lives. Tonight I shall put on my Racecar shirt that I bought at that first gig, and listen from Pilot right through to In Nothing We Trust.

In three months I am getting the logo from the inner sleeve of Racecar tattooed. Please let it be my favourite bands logo tattooed on me, not a tribute to the passing of one of the greatest British bands ever.

I still remember when I first heard the riff, that opens Racecar up, my neck hairs stood up stiff

And since that first discovery, I've tried to recreate the feeling I had back then, but nothing sounds that great

So boys, please give me another album that I love straight away.

Well, I guess I loved you three.

Dean Robinson

Oh my God. This is terrible news I hope it's just a break. I'm glad I managed to see reuben live. Since that night you have been one of my favourite bands I bought all of your albums right after. I hope to see you play again soon!

Good luck

Pretty gutting, but good terms is good.
Fingers crossed the reunion comeback extravaganza megaturbo tour comes sooner rather than later.
But that you all do something else that's sexy for our ears really soon.
Good luck with whatever you guys do next
Just make sure that you don't become another band that says 'hiatus' to minimise bitter/suicidal emails.

Thanks for all the music. It was pretty bloody amazing.

I was very close to Blue Sky Summer who were great fans of yours and for who you were an inspiration.

2 weeks ago, they had all their gear stolen and had to split due to debts. Everyone was devastated that knew them aas they were building a great momentum following your plan to the letter - i.e. getting out there and doing it for the kids.

Anyway, I digress. I was supposed to be coming to 2000 Trees to see you guys but was so depressed I decided not too - and now I hear this.

Whatever you do in the future, thank you so much for the music and good times you have given me at a number of places such as Brighton, Redhill, twice at Download (remember the Snickers Bowl fiasco!) and Guildford.

Be proud of yourselves and good luck for the future

.midasuno is fucking dead.

 
This confirms a grim rumour we heard a day or two ago, may you rest in peace with engerica, million dead and the other british rock bands who slipped into early graves

all th best for your future projects boys, and if anything comes off we'll see you on the toilet circuit maybe in another life

riffs and hits

Reuben are an inspiration to every single band out there.

To Jamie, Guy and Jon, if you never play another note together again, you can be proud of your achievements to date.

Having said that, please do not call it a day. You fucking rock more than the last 20 years of English bands have.

Respect always.

Please say this is only a hiatus. You guys have been my favourite band since you began. I even went so far as to have 'Reuben' printed on my school leavers hoody (it came out as 'Revben' but the intent is there). Please come back soon, nice to know you're all on good terms, and hope all goes well with whatever it is that's important enough to stop you making awesome music.
