(Radio.com) In 2009, Grateful Dead alumni Bob Weir (guitar, vocals) and Phil Lesh (bass, vocals) formed Furthur to give them a vehicle to perform their former band's music.

But the group, which were on hiatus during 2014, has just announced that they're calling it a day. "To our loyal Furthur fans and members of the Furthur community at furthur.net, we'd like to thank you for a terrific ride," they told fans in a message on their soon-to-be-shuttered website.

"We'll be closing up shop at furthur.net, and heading onward. Thanks for making the Furthur community a great place to hang out, and for coming out to the shows. We'll all be keeping very busy over the foreseeable future, and it's time to let Furthur take a bow.

"We enjoyed the ride more than we can possibly express. You can keep tabs on Phil's activities at www.terrapincrossroads.net, Bob's activities at www.bobweir.net and all Grateful Dead news at www.dead.net." Read more here.
