A year after their return to the stage from a 10-year hiatus, La Ley is splitting up, again. Billboard can confirm.
Frontman Beto Cuevas took to Facebook this weekend to share the news with his fans saying they were ready to “close a chapter.” “After many conversations and months of touring, today we close the last chapter of a book called La Ley,” the “Mentira” singer begins his post.
“Many of you will question our reason, but I can only tell you that life gives many turns and just like one day we were reunited, today, we are separated. From my end, I only have love, respect and gratitude for all of those that have accompanied us on this journey. For now and like always, I will continue to write, sing and create for you guys. See you soon.”

In 2005, the Chilean rock band announced that they were taking a break. In the interim, Cuevas released two solo albums. But in 2015, the band returned with Retour, a compilation album, and tour dates in North and South America. Earlier this year, La Ley premiered what would be their last album together, Adaptación.
“We just wanted to see if we still had it. The first song we played was ‘Hombre,’ and from the first moment, those first 15 seconds of rehearsal, it almost felt like we had released the pause button. It felt like we’d always been playing together,” Cuevas previously told Billboard.
The news of their split comes after the cancelation of a string of dates, including Chicago’s second annual Ruido Fest last month, where they were set to headline on the first day.
