The Go-Go's calling it quits after summer tour....Does Anyone Really Care? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 04-28-2010, 10:31 PM

Their lips are sealed ... for good. The Go-Go's announced this week that their July tour, which happily includes a stop in Tampa Bay, will be their last.

The "Happily Ever After - Farewell Tour" begins July 7 in San Diego, stops in St. Petersburg on July 10 and wraps up in Austin, Texas, on July 27. A live TV performance on Good Morning America is set for July 16.

The band's official website doesn't really give a reason for the breakup, other than it appears 30-plus years together is enough. Lead singer Belinda Carlisle reportedly hinted at the breakup on her Facebook page back in February. Her official website says she's be doing a solo tour this summer in Europe, Japan and the United States.

Back in 2008, band co-founder Jane Wiedlin told Stuck in the '80s that the days of long tours were over. "In the early '80s we once toured for nearly two years straight, and now we never do more than about two weeks," she told me. "Every year it seems to get a little more complicated trying to get together to do stuff. We are now living in FIVE different places, which makes it a real challenge to get together."

Belinda is best solo, anyway.

Um, yeah I care. I loved the Go Gos back in the day (though I admit I didn't realize they were still together). Some great memories!

Belinda should have left her face alone. She has the worst plastic surgery by far, worse than Madge or the Cat Woman combined.

I cant say I really liked Belinda Carlisle's solo work, but the first two Go Go's LP's are good.

I thought they already had broken up.

I know they reunited about ten years ago, but there haven't been any recent tours or albums, so I just assumed...

And there's no such thing as a "Farewell" tour in the music industry.

catlover79 · 04-29-2010, 12:13 PM

I didn't know they were still together myself.

Also, Chris is right about the "Farewell" thing. Just ask Barbra Streisand!!!

Dr. Thong · 04-29-2010, 12:17 PM

"Our Lips Are Sealed." Reminds me of a Go-Go's joke I heard in high school.

Here goes...

Why can't the Go-Go's--

Um, never mind.

That's a bit of an over exaggeration. The worst by far? Hardly. Hers might be bad, but it certainly doesn't compare to the cat woman. Hers isn't even as bad as Tori Spelling or Taylor Dayne. I'd even say that Heidi Montag, who is half her age, looks worse.

catlover79 · 04-29-2010, 03:52 PM

Oh my gosh!! Taylor Dayne looks HORRIBLE - what did she do to herself???

It seems that she has made herself lose the ability to smile.

That "Farewll Tour" doesn't seem like much of a tour - it's not even 3 weeks long!! I thought when an act does a farewell, it's supposed to drag on for a few years!
