Bassist Cameron Picton said he was "blindsided" by frontman Geordie Greep sharing the news on Instagram live last night Black Midi’ s Geordie Greep and Cameron Picton have confirmed the “indefinite” end to the band. On an Instagram live last night (August 10), Greep responded to fans asking when the band would be releasing a new album by typing “no more black midi” and “it’s over” into the chat. He continued, writing: “Black Midi was an interesting band that’s now indefinitely over”.
Initially, fans couldn’t tell if Greep was serious, however, Black Midi’s bassist Cameron Picton confirmed the news this morning (August 11) on Twitter/X, and it appears the announcement came as a surprise to the rest of the band. “We’d agreed not to say anything about ‘breaking up’ so I was as blindsided as everyone else last night but maybe in a different way,” Picton wrote. “I guess sometimes all you can say is lol.
” Picton then confirmed he’d be working on his own music, saying: “Anyway! Starting sessions for my own record soon, looking forward — should be good, hopefully great!” We’d agreed not to say anything about ‘breaking up’ so I was as blindsided as everyone else last night but maybe in a different way.
