Avenue updated fans on their blog at MySpace (@avenuegroup) on Thursday (April 2), revealing that they are breaking up. The UK boy band tell readers:

Hi all,

We wanted to give all our fans and champions out there a massive thank you for your support. Despite having a great time together as a band we have decided to go and follow our own separate career paths.

Thanks again for all your love and support for Avenue and it would be amazing to see you guys out there along the way as we make our own separate journeys too.

With Love,

Andy, Jonny, Max Ross, and Scott
Avenue

In the final fan submitted question to Avenue, the guys answer which song they would most like to have written. Among the responses from Max George, Jonny Lloyd, Scott Clarke, Ross Candy, Jamie Tinkler and Andy Brown: ‘Yesterday’ by The Beatles, ‘Like I Love You’ by Justin Timberlake, and ‘(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay’ by Otis Redding.

Their responses at YouTube have since been removed.

Meanwhile, the British boy band also announced their upcoming tour has been cancelled. “Due to circumstances beyond the boys’ control, their February tour will no longer be taking place,” a posting at their MySpace blog announced. “We’re really sorry for the disappointment to all of you who were going to see them. Full refunds will be available from wherever you bought your ticket.”

Avenue’s Max George and Ross Candy took part in a word association game called Mallets Mallet in a video clip posted at the British boy band’s YouTube channel. The first person unable to come up with a related word got smacked in the head with a stuffed shark.

The video at YouTube has since been removed.

Jonny Lloyd of Avenue checked in with fans on the boy band’s blog at MySpace (@avenuegroup) on Thursday (November 20), with an update from their current tour. Lloyd writes:

We’ve been performing on the McFly tour in Brighton and Cardiff this week which has been incredible. We’ve always dreamed of doing gigs in arenas and now our dreams have come true. We also never imagined we’d be so accepted by the crowds, we thought they’d just be there for McFly, but judging by their reactions and all the banners they’d made, they were there to see us too, which was ace!

The tour’s heading to Nottingham tonight which should be good, then Manchester tomorrow which is Max’s hometown. We’re really looking forward to Manchester as all our families are coming over and we’re having a big house party to celebrate Max’s dads wife’s birthday. Then on Sunday night we’re doing a show in Scotland. It’ll be the first time we’ve stayed at Ross’ house. His family own a sandwich shop which Ross reckons does amazing sandwiches, so we’re dying to put them to the test.

Ross Candy is the latest member of Avenue to take part in a rapid fire series of questions about his preferences - such as nights in or nights out, sun or snow, trainers or shoes, boxers or briefs, beauty or brains, Elvis or Michael Jackson, day or night, and many more.
