Hello Everyone, This is not easy to write, but these never are!

Unfortunatly (pun?!) after this upcoming tour, The Fortunate will be hanging up their guitars and will be ending this chapter of their lives. This was not an easy decision to make but we feel, as a band, that this is the best direction to head as a group.

That being said, we will still be playing all of the dates on the tour, so be sure to come to any or all of the shows to catch us for one last time! Thanks to everyone who has ever supported this band in anyway, and thanks to all of the promoters who hooked us up with a show, and anyone who has given us food or a place to stay, it was greatly appreciated! We love you all!

Love

~The Fortunate

I hate you dudes so much right now! When I called Stephen a little while ago to ask about your tour, I gave him a pep talk on how you guys need to keep plugging away cause you're all super talented and have an amazing band with amazing music. Look what you're doing now, breaking up! I wanted to see you guys play again and even share the stage with you dudes again but that won't happen now! It sucks to see such an amazing band break up! You guys were my favorite local/not so local band. I'm so upset right now, like wow! This sucks so bad! Way to bum out you're whole fan base! Sorry for being harsh, and I know this was definatly the hardest thing you guys have had to do, but dudes you're band worked so well. The music was amazing, all the dudes in the band are amazing, and you guys pulled trough some really tough stuff (the crashing of the van after leaving my place). It just sucks because your band holds a place in my heart and it always will, but I wanted to see you guys progress and get huge, because it was going to happen. Anyways dudes, I have vented enough. You are all amazing guys with amazing talents, and this shouldn't be the end of your musical careers. You all should go into other bands and do what you do best, ROCK OUT! haha. Love you guys for sure. If I make a trip out west I am definatly chillin'!
Peace
R.I.P The Fortunatly

The Emendation (2005-2007)

 
This sucks majorly. Dang. Crap. Junk. I'm super excited that Goonies gets to jam with you guys in Brandon at that show though...it'll be epic. But we gotta get one last Dauphin/Russell date figured out so that the Silence Through The Fortunate era can close properly.
I guess I kinda saw this coming, but I totally didn't want to believe it was gonna happen. All the best in the future. Keep writing music for sure. We'll hang out more in Brandon and it'll be awesome.
Take care,
Ben

UGH YOU GUYS ARE(/HAVE) THE BIGGEST DICKS EVER! why don't you think about the people who like your music instead of yourselves!!! why would you be so selfish!!!! just because YOU guys don't want to continue with it Thats no reason to stop! UGH now all us fans have become burn outs becuase of this!



i think this is because of that thing where when someone you love dies a part of you die with them, and when your little brother anew died thats probably what happened ........... and plus stephen picking up the needle helped nothing.
