A-Ha

Oh no! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, '80s fans, but a-ha, the Norwegian band that gave us arguably the greatest music video of all time, is calling it quits after three decades and 35 million albums sold.

Now I don't know about you but I don't think I was aware that they were still together let alone breaking up! I am quite astounded. It turns out they have been pumping out records all this time without my knowledge.

Morten Harket, Magne Furuholmen and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy—had a huge hit on their hands with 'Take On Me' in 1985 with the video winning 6 Moon Men at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Although they had no other hits in the USA/Aust, the band was hugely popular, at one point setting a Guinness World Record for attendance at a Rio show, besting crowds for Guns N' Roses and Prince.

After releasing its ninth studio album, Foot of the Mountain, A-ha announced the 2010 world tour would be its last and the group would disband at year's end.

It's a little hard to be sad when i assumed this had happened decades ago - but good luck guys and thanks for the memories.
