The British rock group The Hollies has announced the conclusion of its touring career following more than six decades of activity. The decision follows the retirement of two key members from the classic lineup: guitarist Tony Hicks and drummer Bobby Elliott. The announcement confirmed that Hicks, aged 80, was forced to step down from touring due to ongoing health issues.
In a gesture of solidarity and respect for their long-standing association, Elliott, 84, also decided to retire. Both musicians joined The Hollies in 1963, shortly after the group’s formation, and remained integral to the band for 63 years, according to Variety. The group made the news public via a social media post, expressing deep gratitude to their fanbase for their continued support over the years.
This marks the end of an era for the influential band. The retirement of Hicks and Elliott signifies the culmination of a significant chapter in the history of the Hollies. The band has maintained a decades-long presence in the music scene, solidifying its place in rock history.
With the departure of these two founding members, the current chapter of the Hollies concludes, marking a definitive end to their touring activities after such a distinguished career.
