Today, the Grammy-nominated rock icons Sum 41 have released their final music video for “Radio Silence” via Rise Records. This release serves as a fitting final tribute and bittersweet goodbye to the fans and those that have been with the band over their 29-year career. The band is riding off the momentum of their induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and final performance together at the 54th Annual JUNO Awards in Vancouver where they closed out the award show with a medley of songs that helped catapult them to global stardom. The performance this weekend marks the conclusion of Sum 41’s farewell tour that took place over the last year in sold out arenas around the world, saying thank you and goodbye to fans that helped make them one of the defining rock bands of their generation.
The Madden brothers from Good Charlotte introduced the band to the stage to accept the induction honor where Deryck Whibley expressed the bands deepest gratitude for their friends, family and fans and took a look back on their storied career together. This year the band was nominated for Group of the Year and Rock Album of the Year for their final and most ambitious record to date, "Heaven :x: Hell". The double album’s chart-topping single “Landmines” has racked up over 50million streams globally, and has been streamed on over 100,000 playlists on Spotify in the last month alone.
Looking back at the band’s career together, Sum 41 has firmly cemented their place in history with over 15 million records sold worldwide and multiple Billboard Charting releases and No. 1 hits. They have received countless accolades including a GRAMMY® nomination, 2 JUNO Awards (9 nominations), a Kerrang! Award in 2002, multiple Alternative Press Music Awards, sold-out tours, tv appearances and have left life long impressions on fans across the world. Sum 41’s career has been nothing short of legendary.
Spotify has teamed up with Sum 41 to release two swansong Singles just days ahead of the Canadian all stars’ last-ever broadcast performance at The JUNO Awards in Vancouver on March 30. The Singles, which were recorded in LA, include an unforgettable skate-punk spin on Rage Against the Machine’s "Sleep Now in the Fire" and an acoustic version of their 2023 single, "Landmines". The Singles are a bittersweet goodbye for fans after wrapping their farewell world tour-The Tour of the Setting Sum-in Toronto at the end of January. Speaking on the Singles’ release, Sum 41 said: "Recording these Spotify Singles has been an incredible way to celebrate with our fans around the world. We’re so grateful for their support and excited to share this special session with everyone. Huge thanks to Spotify for making this experience possible".
