The Band Perry announced that they’d be going on hiatus last March to focus on “individual creative pursuits,” writing on Instagram (per People): “We wanted to let you know that the three of us have decided to take a creative break as a group and each focus on our individual creative pursuits.
“During this season, we will continue to support each other as artists and family in all we do. Thank you for making our childhood dreams come true!”
The Band Perry formed in 2005 after its members enjoyed solo stints. In 2009, they debuted with the single Hip To My Heart, while their 2010 track If I Die Young became a major hit that dominated country music charts in the US.
The group amassed more hits with the tracks You Lie, All Your Life, Postcard From Paris, Done, Don't Let Me Be Lonely, and Chainsaw, among others. Their song Gentle On My Mind saw the band win the Best Country Duo/Group Performance Grammy Award in 2015.
After pivoting to pop in 2017, the band went independent.
