2014–15: Split and life after

The Loveable Rogues announced that after their 'This & That Tour' in November that they will be parting ways. "To all our fans and followers – and anyone else who has dipped into our adventure over the past five years – we have some news," they said in a statement.

"The three of us, who you'll know as the Loveable Rogues, have made the tough, but self-assured decision to part ways at the end of the year.

"We've had the most incredible time as a band - writing, performing, touring and playing together for half a decade - but the time feels right to head in different directions and take on new endeavours."

They continued: "We were delighted to finally release our debut album this year, and the response and love for it was incredible, so thank you again to everyone who remained patient and bought it. It made the endurance worthwhile.^[5]
