"After 14 years, 26 top ten hits including 14 number one singles, 11 top 5 albums, 7 of which hit the top spot and have collectively sold over 44 million copies around the world, 10 sell out tours and countless memories that we will forever cherish," they says, "We today announce our plan to go our separate ways after a greatest hits collection this Christmas and a farewell tour next year."
