We still get a little verklempt thinking about the end of Ween following Aaron Freeman’s decision to leave the group and his Gene Ween persona behind last month. Besides Freeman’s comments to Rolling Stone about Ween ending, Aaron’s been quiet about his decision…until now. The singer/guitarist issued a statement about the end of Ween…
I want to thank each and every one of you for all of your kind words and support. It means a lot. My decision to leave Ween, however interpreted, was absolutely not made in haste. It’s involved over a decade’s worth of internal and external struggle. Know that I am extremely proud of all that Ween created, and want to leave it that way. I need to now move on for myself, and for my family. Many new roads to travel, bridges to cross… Love to you All, and Happy Father’s Day -Aaron
Poor Deaner. We wish Aaron well and we’ll miss Ween terribly.

I agree fwwank, I think this will be a short lived retirement.
