The Spanish band Love of Lesbian has announced a temporary break from performing after 25 years, expressing the need for a pause to reflect and recharge.
The Barcelona-based band Love of Lesbian has revealed they will take a temporary hiatus after 25 years of continuous activity, concluding in 2026. In a heartfelt announcement shared via social media, the band emphasized that they wished to avoid being in their 40s making the same music as when they were 20. Lead singer Santi Balmes indicated that the decision to step back was to allow for personal reflection and to rediscover a sense of purpose away from the stage.
In their statement, the band described their journey as one filled with adventure, likening their experiences on the road to that of 'space ships' and their stages as a reliable home. They underscored that this is not a farewell but rather a long-term pause, suggesting that they seek a period of silence to be as authentic as the music they have shared over the years. Their fans can expect a final tour before the break, marking an end to an era.
The timing of this announcement has sparked discussions among fans and music critics alike about the evolving nature of artistic careers and the balance between creative expression and personal well-being. As they prepare for their last concerts, Love of Lesbian's decision to step back raises awareness of the importance of mental health in the music industry, setting a precedent for other artists to consider their own longevity and the impact of the industry’s demands on their personal lives.
