Mumford & Sons announce hiatus THEY may have taken out last year's Grammy for Album of the Year but Mumford & Sons have said they have no idea if or when they will make another record, announcing an indefinite hiatus. "There won't be any Mumford & Sons activities for the foreseeable future following Friday's show," keyboardist Ben Lovett told Rolling Stone. Asked how long the 'foreseeable future' was, Lovett said "We have no idea. We just know we're going to take a considerable amount of time off and just go back to hanging out and having no commitments or pressure or anything like that. It feels like the last week of school right now, before school holiday when you're in high school. The atmosphere on the road is one of . . . I think everyone's excited about being free of schedules. I don't think we've had actually much time in the process to be with other people and living a life outside of the band. I think that's what's in place at the moment, to do very little - especially when it comes to Mumford & Sons," Lovett said. The English band stormed onto the music scene in 2009 with their debut album Sign No More, which included the smash hit Little Lion Man, which was named Triple J's hottest song of 2009. The group followed up their success by releasing Babel, which won Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards. Judging from some of the reaction to the band's hiatus on social media the big question is will anyone miss them?
