"While the band technically may not be together anymore, both of us share an inseparable bond that will connect us no matter where life takes us. Thank you so much for everything." Distraught fans thanked the band Strings for beautiful memories. Comedian Bhuvan Bam wrote, “Thank you for the great music and an amazing childhood. Your melodies will stay with the world forever! Best wishes for the future (sic).” While some fans called it “End of an era (sic),” others were reminded of how the British band One Direction split up.

Strings was first formed in 1988 with four members, as a college band. However, it saw ups and downs in their journey as a collective. They ruled the music scene in the 90s and gained popularity in Pakistan as well as India. Their musical hits like Dhani, Na Jaane Kyu, Duur, Yeh Hai Meri Kahani, Mera Bicchra Yaar, among many others. The band’s last album Thirty released in 2019.
