Promise of the Real is no more, but of course the fashionable word for breaking up is “hiatus” these days.
Lukas Nelson announced the “hiatus” on his socials saying, “After 15 unforgettable years, Promise of the Real has decided to take a well-earned hiatus, and begin a new creative chapter in all of our lives.”
