Experimental electronic duo Crystal Castles' vocalist Alice Glass, has announced that she is leaving the band due to 'personal and professional reasons'.
The duo formed in 2004 and released three albums, with Glass now departing to focus on her solo career.
"I am leaving Crystal Castles," she said on her Twitter. "My art and my self-expression in any form has always been an attempt towards sincerity, honesty, and empathy for others. For a multitude of reasons both professional and personal I no longer feel that this is possible within CC.
"Although this is the end of the band, I hope my fans will embrace me as a solo artist in the same way they have embraced Crystal Castles."
I am leaving Crystal Castles.
