Break-Ups: Jack’s Mannequin (2004–2012)

After eight years together, Jack’s Mannequin has decided to call it a day and will play their last show together on November 11th in Los Angeles. Front man Andrew McMahon, who will continue releasing music under his own name, explained:

At the heart of this change is the closing of a very important chapter in my life, one that is no doubt close to all of us. On November 11th, in Los Angeles at the 3rd annual Dear Jack benefit, my band and I will perform our last set as Jack’s Mannequin.

 These are not easy words to write but I truly believe that the ending of this chapter will give birth to something beautiful. I cannot thank you all enough for the support you have given, not just to me, but also to Bobby, Jay, Mikey and Jon over the last 7 years. We are eager to take the stage on the 11^th and play these songs that have scored nearly a decade of our lives, for you, the people who have given them a home. It feels both fated and appropriate that the profits from this show go to supporting young adults affected by cancer.

Throughout their career, the band released three albums: 2005’s Everything In Transit, 2008’s The Glass Passenger and 2011’s People and Things.
