Aqua announced today that after 30 years, they are hanging up their Barbies for good.
René Dif, Lene Nystrøm, and Søren Rasted made the announcement on social media:
Dear everyone ❤️
After many incredible years, we have decided to close the chapter of AQUA as a live band.
AQUA has been such a huge part of our lives, and together we’ve had the chance to experience
more than we ever dared to dream of.
We’ve traveled the world countless times, met so many wonderful people, sung together with millions of you, and shared memories that we will carry with us forever.
When you’ve been together for this long, you also learn when it’s time to protect what you’ve created together. For us, this feels like the right moment to say goodbye, while the memories are still strong, and while the love for the music, the story, and each other remains intact.
From the bottom of our hearts: thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey over the past 30 years. Thank you for the love, the energy, the support, and for all the moments we’ve shared together.
Nothing but love and gratitude from here on.
Endless love ❤️
Lene, René & Søren
This is not the first time the trio have called it quits. In fact, it is not even the second time. So let’s hope that the third time will not be the charm for the Dutch band because they are more than a one-hit wonder to me. If you download their debut album, Aquarium, you will love their songs as much as I do.
Before Albert Brooks played Dr. Butz in Critical Care, he had to get a needle out of Dick Van Dyke’s butt in The Dick Van Dyke Show. How funny was the 25-year-old in that 1972 episode?
In 1967, Vicki Lawrence sent a letter that changed her life. She told Carol Burnett that she could play her sister, and shortly after that, she did.
Then, in 1973, Lawrence went from playing Burnett’s sister on The Carol Burnett Show to playing her mama in The Family sketches. Those sketches with Eunice and her mother became so popular with fans that it became its own series, Mama’s Family. That show is still being enjoyed by fans in syndication.
While Eunice and Mama did not always get along, the actresses did and do. So after nearly 60 years, they are still like sisters and enjoy hanging out. Therefore, yesterday, they had dinner and talked about old times! And we got this photo, wishing we could have joined them at the table!
I don’t know about you, but we all have dirty little secrets. It is why I hate The All-American Rejects’ song, Dirty Little Secret, because it hits too close to home. However, I won’t tell you exactly why.
While that is me, there are people who are willing to share their dirty little secrets, and Mike’s Dirty Lemonade wants to hear from them. If you do share that information, then you can possibly win a trip to Chicago to see the band with a VIP experience in August.
“Some of the best things we’ve done as a band start from unexpected places,” said Tyson Ritter, lead vocalist of The All-American Rejects. “That’s what made this partnership with Mike’s Dirty Lemonade feel right. A lot of what we’ve been doing on tour has spread the same way, through fans showing up and passing it along. We didn’t expect this to grow into such a big moment, but people show up for something real.”
The hard and Dirty Lemonade comes in four flavors: Dirty Lemon Secret, Dark Cherry Brew, Very Berry Grape, and Pineapple Haze.
To share your dirty little secrets and enter to see AAR live in Chi-town, then kiss and tell here. And if you want to share your secrets with me, I am always willing to listen. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone what you tell me!
