Moose Blood announce a break from music
- Published
Moose Blood have announced they're stepping away from music after a what they describe as a "traumatic" year.
They were due to support Good Charlotte on their 2019 tour but the band dropped them after pressure from fans.
In 2017, Moose Blood's drummer Glenn Harvey left because of claims of "inappropriate behaviour".
Earlier this year, vocalist Eddy Brewerton denied accusations that he took nude photos from a woman's phone and forwarded them to the band.
