a-ha Is About To Quit
Recently, famous Norwegian pop-group a-ha had announced the end of it’s musical career. As Reuters said, in 2010 a-ha will start the world tour, which is going to be their last; particularly this news was picked up by the news agency from a-ha’s record label Universal Music. Also, the band’s official website contains a message which says that a-ha’s last concert will take place on December 4, 2010 in Oslo thus totally proving Reuters’ news. For many followers of this group it’s going to sound quite sad because nobody was really expecting it. Vocalist Morten Harket, keyboardist Magne Furuholmen and guitarist Paal Waaktaar-Savoy have founded a-ha in 1982. Their debut album “Hunting High and Low” (1985) brought them to the world wide fame containing such hits as “Take on Me” and “The Sun Always Shines on T.V.”. Totally, a-ha’s discography contains nine studio albums; the last one “Foot of the Mountain” came out in June, 2009. During it’s pretty long career a-ha was awarded with many prizes by MTV and Spellemannsprisen – Norwegian counterpart of “Grammy”. More than seventy million copies were sold world wide, so it’s impossible to say that the band cannot deserve to call it quits. However, it already happend when they’ve decided to call it quits in 1994, but eventually three guys have reunited four years later.
