Sum 41 is splitting up

SUM 41 WILL NO LONger be adding to the music world. Rather, they’ll be dividing.

The Canadian rockers have announced via a joint statement that they will be splitting up after they release a final album sometime later in 2023. The band, featuring Deryck Whibley, Dave Baksh, Jason McCaslin, Tom Thacker and Frank Zummo have been together for 27 years.

“Being in Sum 41 since 1996 brought us some of the best moments in our lives. We are forever grateful to our fans both old and new, who have supported us in any way. It is hard to articulate the love and respect we have for all of you and we wanted you to hear this from us first,” the statement said.

Liner notes

• Dolly Parton’s promised rock album now has a release date and a track list featuring collaborations with some of music’s biggest stars.

When Parton was inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last year, she announced that the honor inspired her to make a rock record. “If I’m gonna be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, I’m gonna have to earn it,” she said.

Well, the album is now set to be released Nov. 17 and will feature names such as Elton John, Miley Cyrus, Lizzo, Stevie Nicks, Pink and Sting — not to mention the biggest names of all: Paul McCartney and Ringo

Starr. The former Beatles will play on Parton’s take on “Let It Be.”

The 30-track “Rockstar” will be available on four -LP and two-CD sets as well as digitally.

• Jeff Tweedy will play in South Deerfield at Tree House Brewing’s Summer Stage on
