Mumford & Sons have announced that they will be taking an indefinite break, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The band had to take a break during their last tour, rescheduling dates after the bass player, Ted Dwane, suffered a blood clot on the surface of his brain.
"There won't be any Mumford & Sons activities for the foreseeable future following Friday's [September 21] show," Ben Lovett, the keyboard player, told Rolling Stone. "It feels like the last week of school right now, before school holiday when you're in high school."
Lovett didn't have any definitive idea regarding the length of the break.
"We have no idea," Lovett replied when asked the question by Rolling Stone. "We just know we're going to take a considerable amount of time off and just go back to hanging out and having no commitments or pressure or anything like that."
The band released their second studio album, "Babel," last September, and they have been touring since. They spent the summer touring North America and also played the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury Festival in June.
"We're just going to rest up," Lovett said. "I don't think we've had, actually, much time in the process to be with other people and living a life outside of the band.
"I think that's what's in place at the moment: to do very little, especially when it comes to Mumford & Sons," Lovett continued.
Prior to the interview, Dwane had already expressed a desire to take a break.
"The atmosphere on the road is one of...I think everyone's excited about being free of schedules," Lovett said. "We're just going to rest up."
Mumford & Sons became popular after the release of their first studio album, "Sigh No More," that was released in 2009. The band won multiple Grammy's for their newest release, "Babel."
