They are the longest serving group in British pop history and are rounding off their farewell tour in Eastleigh before a Glastonbury swansong.
Up to now retirement has never been in The Searchers' vocabulary, but they have decided that after three final tours it really is time to hang up the plectrums and drum sticks.
The Liverpool legends, who in the golden pop era of the 60s were second only to the The Beatles, return to The Concorde Club on Thursday June 26 for the final gig on their Thank You tour.
The following day The Searchers step on the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury Festival to write the final chapter of a pop story which began nearly 70 years ago.

The Concorde has always been a favourite venue for The Searchers, who have toured continually for more than 67 years.
Their most famous single remains their 1963 debut Sweets For My Sweet.
