Show Notes
It's the end of an era for Kiwi rock fans - as iconic band Shihad are set to call it quits after their last tour.
After nearly 40 years, the group has confirmed they will split up for good, with demand for this final tour causing their website to crash.
Shihad frontman Jon Toogood says the group's priorities have changed - as all the members have children and families now.
"Everyone's busy all the time, this is a great band that deserves that full-on attention - and I just think we just sort of came to a collective agreement that we couldn't do that. It was time to put it to bed, but go out on a high."
