HALE is disbanded!

|

Hale

Who would have thought that this hit pop rock group would disband?

Hale gained popularity with their 2004 hit single The Day You Said Goodnight from the self-entitled album Hale.

This was confirmed by the band’s record label, PolyEast Records, to Manila Bulletin. In addition, the group’s disbandment was amicable and inevitable. The disbandment came after Champ Lui-Pio, the leader and vocalist, told the media his decision to go solo and start a career as an actor. He is now recording his new album described by PolyEast Records as “more mainstream, softer; with lots of ballads” .

On the other hand, the other members which are Roll Martinez, Sheldon Gellada and Paolo Santiago have no plans on how they will continue their career as musicians individually or as a group.

    This is too bad. I love the band and their songs. I think Champ deserves it though…acting and singing I mean. I loved the MV with Angel Locsin!

    Well, it is sad.

    And as much as I want to respect Champ, I see his decision as a bit selfish. We know he knows that he’ll be the least affected by the disbandment because of his popularity, but what about the other members?

    Oh well, I do wish everything will work out well for all of them.

    I remember this band when I was in grade 3, they were a hit!! I mean listen to the song “blue sky”, you’ll be blown away. I always hear their songs in the radio, I just adore the originality and the lightweight loneliness of their songs but maybe Champ was right to disband the group, i mean Champ and the guys have to get on and catch on their lives.

    I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS BAND, LONG LIVE “HALE”!!!!!
