Sydney Outfit Strangers Call It Quits & Announce Final Shows

After eight years and two albums, Sydney outfit Strangers are calling it quits. 

Lead singer Ben Britton confirmed the news in a statement today. 

"I have been extremely fortunate to have shared the stage with world class musicians and artists, while gaining some amazing/outrageous experiences touring this beautiful country and overseas along the way," the statement reads.

"As much I will miss singing my little ol’ heart out I want to explore other avenues and experience life on the other side of being in a band.

"I want to take this opportunity on behalf of the band to thank you all for the never-ending support throughout the years through the good times and the bad. Words just can’t do justice to how much your support has meant to us."

The band have announced two final shows to take place next February in Melbourne and Sydney, giving fans one final chance to hear their favourite tracks from their Persona Non Grata and Mirrorland records.
