Tom Clarke pens heartfelt farewell to The Enemy fans as band split

Frontman writes goodbye 'with a heavy heart' after decade-long career with band

Tom Clarke, frontman of The Enemy (middle), has played a part in the creation of the new venue.

The Enemy have split up, after a ten-year career which has seen them top the charts.

The band - who consist of Tom Clarke, Andy Hopkins and Liam Watts - have sold millions of records worldwide, after forming in Coventry in 2006.

Their split comes after the band released their fourth album, It's Automatic, in October 2015.

In a statement on Coventry nightclub The Empire's Facebook page, frontman Clarke wrote a heartfelt farewell to fans.

The singer wrote: "It's with a heavy heart that I write this one.

"Ten years ago in 2006 my two best friends and I stepped into a rehearsal room and The Enemy was born. Over a decade we created four albums and toured them successfully around the world. For a number of reasons the dates we are announcing in 2016 will be the last time we take to the stage as The Enemy, at least for the foreseeable future.

"A lot happens in ten years. Radio changes, there is without doubt less room for bands on the airwaves these days and whereas once acts used to be able to get their big break on a sixth record, in this climate radio and the media is bored of them by their third, save a very select few.
