Almighty to Split.


Last night, 29/03/96, The Almighty played and unannounced support gig at the Paradise Lost Rock City show. Two songs from the end of the set, Ricky Warwick spoke to the crowd. The following is roughly what he said - not word for word, cos like, well, I'd had a couple of drinks, but its the general gist of it you know ...

We've got something to announce. Yesterday, we had a meeting and decided that the Almighty are gonna split up. We've just made the best fucking record that we could've made, and we've had 8 brilliant years and we've decided that we want to go out while we're still relevent and still care and not hang around 10 years longer than we should've done like fucking Maiden or something. We want to thank you for the support you've given us over the years, it's been fucking brilliant. Come and see us in April on the last tour, this is the last Almighty single ...

So there you have it, The Almighty to split. First, before all the big media people get hold of the story.


Take me back.
