Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore announced their separation Friday night, after 27 years of marriage. And while the band plans to proceed with their November tour dates in South America, anything beyond that is uncertain.

“Most fans probably felt a little guilty for how personally we took the sad news, but that’s just because we owe them a lot,” writes Rolling Stone’s Rob Sheffield. “Gordon and Moore have had a huge influence on how so many of us envision monogamy and adulthood. Like everything else about Sonic Youth, their relationship challenged our ideas about what was possible.”
