On 20 October 2013, several publications, including "The Sun" and Digital Spy, claimed that Keane intended to split following the release of "The Best of Keane", and reported that the band members were "taking a break...to pursue their own projects." On 21 October 2013, Tom Chaplin clarified on Real Radio Yorkshire that the band was not splitting up, but the band members would like to "take a bit of time out from being Keane" after being busy for the past few years.
