"Dear Team Cooper
It is with a sad and heavy heart that I must announce that The Cooper Temple Clause have decided to split up.
Last week I informed the rest of the boys that I would be leaving the
band. As I hope you will all be able to understand, it was perhaps the
most difficult decision I have ever had to make. When the only life you
have ever known is that of your five best friends and the music you
make, the thought of leaving that life is not one to be considered
lightly and I assure you all that the decision was not an easy one to
make. Nonetheless, it was something I felt I had to do. I can only
apologise from the bottom of my heart for the disappointment this will
undoubtedly cause many of you.
In the wake of this decision the rest of the boys agreed to call it a
day and pursue other interests. Friendships are well and truly intact
and the love very much remains within the camp.
We would like to take this moment to thank all of you for your support
over the years and the love and acceptance you have shown us. It has
been an honour to be your servants, for that is what we have been. A
band is nothing without its fans, without the people who come to the
shows, buy the albums and make us feel that we're not alone in the
world, that there are other people out there who see the world as we do
in all its wonder and absurdity. People can say what they like about
The Cooper Temple Clause, but the unswerving loyalty and dedication of
you guys, the ones who really matter, can never be called into
question. From the very beginning you have shone brighter than we could
have ever hoped, from the street teams to the forum administrators,
from those of you who saw us in the Bull and Gate to those who made the
earth shake at Fuji Rock on the other side of the world; we thank you
all, each and every one of you. When we stood as children in front of
our mirrors brandishing tennis rackets and singing into upturned golf
clubs, never did we imagine the fantastic adventure we would embark
upon thanks to you, the greatest fans in the world. We can only hope
that we touched your hearts as much as you have ours.
Take heart and carry on, dear Team. Never be afraid to be yourselves,
to be individuals, to fly in the face of common sense and listen to
your hearts, to do it your own way. We made a bunch of albums. We
played a bunch of shows. We met a bunch of people who changed our lives
forever.
We love you all.
Thank you so much.
Yours, in absence of a cheesy line from one of our own songs to end this post,
Dan
The Cooper Temple Clause

This is sad news for me... one of my favourite British bands... And I never had the opportunity to see them live.. ![Cry](smileys/smiley19.gif) Okay, their last album might have been a signal that the various members of the band did pursuit different musical orientations.. but still, it's a pity .
Anyway, don't even know whether there's a lot of you out there who know and maybe even like the band. Just wanted to share this sad bit of news.
