In his statement, Byrne expressed gratitude to his fans and bandmates, acknowledging the unforgettable journey that Talking Heads has taken over the years. “I’ve been lucky to have experienced such an incredible chapter in my life,” Byrne wrote. “But it’s time for me to move on to new creative ventures.
