Giving no other indication of what the future may hold for the chart topping band, it's left to their fans imaginations as to what they may announce next.  Many seem to be fearful that this may very well be the end of what many are calling their "favo[u]rite band".  More news to come (I hope).

Steven Curtis Chapman released his latest project, "re:creation".  The album contains 6 new songs plus new recordings (basically, covers) of 8 of his biggest hits.  In a video about the album, Chapman also explains about "a happy new instrument" that he, for the first time, began to play - the ukelele.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_pImRGISww  This album features his first usage of this instrument - "Long Way Home", as well as other awesome & new renditions of some classics of his.

I just thought I should share this news with you.
