After three decades of nothing but love Strings announced it was splitting up and the country has been collectively jamming to Aakhri Alvida ever since.

In what was an extremely sudden announcement that no one saw coming, the band announced the move on social media. "We have decided that today, 25/03/2021, is the day we graciously get to conclude Strings," they announced, leaving Pakistan heartbroken.

Faisal Kapadia and Bilal Maqsood said that the split wasn't due to hard feelings. They said despite the split, they were extremely fond of each other and share an inseparable bond.

Fans took to social media to vent their grief at the news, shocked that one of Pakistan's most iconic bands would come to and end like this.

Celebrities were shattered

All of us getting goosebumps right about now

Some were reminiscing their favourite collaborations

While others were tearfully jamming to their favourite choruses

Some were in disbelief

While others were simply devastated

Our sadness was echoed across the border

Collectively hanging onto the memories

A big sad goodbye to our favourite duo

An iconic journey indeed

Why you gotta do that to us?

Brb, we're crying our eyes out right now.

To every rise, there is a fall and for every Strings band, there is a halt.

With the feeling of a rock-star While singing “سر کئے یہ پہاڑ” An age of dreams for me began Some thirty-three years ‘fore Scaling mountains was the plan And seeking You; as its core Words alone can’t shape ‘Man’ Hence the mesmerising score Youth, teens; oh the entire span They’d sing & I’d give out a roar While I shall forever be their fan The Strings - are tied no more...
