Last night in Chicago The Roots announced that they will be retiring from touring EFFECTIVE March 2009. The move is being made to accommodate their new Night Gig as the house band for Jimmy Fallon when he replaces Conan O’Brien as the host of Late Night in March of 2009. Conan will be moved to the Tonight Show.

This ain’t cool! I mean, it’s a good look for The Roots obviously, but not for us! These guys come alive on tour. I don’t think any other Hip Hop group/artist tours as much as these dudes do – that’s why we love them though right? I doubt this will be forever, but still – it sucks.

Peace, Love & The Roots
