Sum 41 announced its separation after a 27-year career. The band still assures that it will "finish" its concert tour this year, before release, as promised, their latest album "Heaven: x: Hell" "We will be eternally grateful to our fans, old and new, who have supported us every step of the way," writes the band.

The five members of the band, Deryck Whibley, Jason McCaslin, Dave Baksh, Tom Thacker and Frank Zummo, came together to form Sum 41 on July 31, 1996.
