" Freebass – (and so we face...) The Final Curtain
It is with great sadness that just prior to the long awaited album release of “It’s A Beautiful Life” we have to announce that the much anticipated Mancunian union of bassists, Freebass, is no longer a functioning group. ... Recent events have made Freebass entirely unviable as a band, and with this in mind, it has been decided that the project should be shelved, rather than placed on hiatus while members pursue their other interests.
The band would like to take the opportunity to thanks friends and fans for their support and interest, especially on the UK tour in June 2010. We also hope that people will enjoy the album, which concludes five years of work and treat it on its own merits.
No third parties were involved or harmed in the break up".
Este breve pero contundente comunicado figura en el Facebook de la banda así como también en la web oficial del grupo. Al parecer Mani estaba bastante molesto por no salir a promocionar el cd del grupo ya que Hooky estaba ocupado haciendo el Tour de Unknown Pleasures y tuvo un ataque de furia en su Twitter ( leerlo no tiene desperdicio) sin asco hacia Hooky acusándolo entre otras cosas de " tener la billetera llena de la sangre de Ian Curtis"
