After working together for over 10 years, and representing their home country Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2011 with “New Tomorrow” and finishing fifth, they have announced yesterday that the band has split up.
Here is the announcement they made:
After 10 years of amazing experiences and huge memories, A FRIEND IN LONDON has come to an end.
We have gone through so many changes the past few years:
After Esben and Aske’s exit in early 2013, Sebastian and I hired new musicians for a German tour and kept the AFIL spirit alive, we had a GREAT tour, but for me (Tim) to keep going on as A FRIEND IN LONDON, feels wrong and we, the original 4 boys of the band, want to end the circle together here and now and say thank you to all of you, who have been so supportive and generous with your love. You have all played a big part of this rock’n roll adventure we have been on. THANK YOU.
But this is NOT the end for the 4 of us as musicians. AFIL has given us so much experience and opportunities for new initiatives in our future lives.
Tim Schou and Esben Svane are continuing their careers as solo artists, while Sebastian Vinther is now performing in the band called Mother Lewinsky, and Aske Damm is in the band called Mount Rushmore Safari.
