Following news of Rage Against the Machine's reunion, spinoff group Prophets of Rage have announced they are breaking up.
The supergroup — comprising members of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, Public Enemy and Cypress Hill — called it quits over the weekend.
Cypress Hill's B-Real took to Instagram to thank the group's unceasing fanbase in the wake of their breakup, as well as to praise his (now former) bandmates.
"I want to say thank you to the fans that supported @prophetsofrage for the time we've been rocking together," he said in the post. "It's been an honor to rock stages and people of all ages with these guys. It's been a great time and great memories in a short time."
Meanwhile, Public Enemy's Chuck D reflected on his time with the group in a Twitter post, having created an outlet for "powering a statement for 1000 days," stating that his time with Prophets of Rage "was a honorable truth mission in the hours of chaos from the jump."
