Last night at a sold out show in San Francisco, Justin Vernon (the man behind Bon Iver), announced to the crowd that after this tour the band was taking a break. Or in his own words via Spinner:

""This is the last tour that we're doing with this thing, and after this we're going to take a break," Vernon told the audience. Thanking not just his fellow musicians onstage but also the entire crew and opening band, Megafaun, Vernon said, "I don't think we could ever do it again with anybody better."

That means all we as music fans have to look forward to, until he comes back, is pics/video/attendance at the Graveyard show on Sept. 27th. Enjoy the video up top too, because it truly is a heavenly moment captured on film.
