"We had 12 amazing years touring together from a small postal van to the Pyramid Stage and beyond. It's the end of a chapter, but not the end of the book. We want to thank him for all his time and energy and passion and we want to thank you for all your support from the early days and into the future," the post read.
The group also revealed they are making new music and working on their fifth LP.
