In a statement, the band's management company said their debut 'The Golden Year' would be released as planned on October 3.

The album will be followed by the single 'The Key' on October 10.

Meanwhile, Hutchinson and Capan also thanked fans for their “incredible support and best wishes” following Haddon's death.
