Alice Glass has announced that she is leaving acclaimed noise duo Crystal Castles due to 'personal and professional reasons'.
The electro punk stars, famed for their chaotic live shows, formed in 2004 and released three albums.
Now, it seems that singer Glass is departing to focus on her solo career.
"I am leaving Crystal Castles," she said on Facebook. "My art and my self-expression in any form has always been an attempt towards sincerity, honesty, and empathy for others. For a multitude of reasons both professional and personal I no longer feel that this is possible within CC.
"Although this is the end of the band, I hope my fans will embrace me as a solo artist in the same way they have embraced Crystal Castles."
Crystal Castles last album was 2012's (III), and Glass has since been playing a number of solo DJ gigs.
