HERMAN's HERMITS DONE

FOREVER

Due to last night's arguments,

the band has announced they are breaking up.

Peter Noone was the lead singer of the band.According to the band, he made more money than the rest of the band members, which was unfair due to the fact that he had a bigger ego and was less talented. Toward the end of his career, Noone tried to seek more fame and tried to move to the U.S. However, he didn't have a break through that he was aspiring to have. Some say that they should have stuck together as a band and that No one should have been more committed to the group. He never reached the point that he aspired to be at.

Campion Mead gave us this quote:" I think this is an important thing to remember that there is no I in team and that you shouldn't have to separate music because of one person and that the rest of the band were mislead into things that they didn't realize they were getting into and that this is what happens in the music world ."

We wish the band the best of luck for the future and hope they keep going with their passion for music.
