Since forming four years ago, the pair have enjoyed a formidable rise, earning 105m streams, Choice Prize nominations and slots at some of Europe’s biggest festivals, including Glastonbury in 2022. Nonetheless, the band have faced significant obstacles as of late, with O’Sullivan having been diagnosed with a rare blood disease called aplastic anaemia. A press release has since described the 25-year old as being “in full recovery”.
