Christopher Owens, the lead singer and co-founder of Girls, has decided to quit the indie rock band. The frontman broke the news via Twitter this morning, giving quite a shock to the San Francisco group's followers.

"1) Dear all, This may come as a surprise to many & has been an issue of much thought for me. My decision was not easy to make," Owens begins in a three-part tweet. "2) I am leaving Girls. My reasons at this time are personal. I need to do this in order to progress."

"3) I will continue to write & record music. More will be announced soon. I thank you all for everything. Sincerely–Christopher."

No word on if Girls will replace their lead singer, but this is probably the end of the band as we know it. You win, Lena Dunham. You win.

Rock on Rock & Roll. The times they are a changen. You go (roll ) with the flow. MUSIC TELLS A STORY DON'T IT. FROM THE BEGINING, UNTIL THE MUSIC DIES. To name just a few

As per usual, never heard of the guy or the band.
Maybe they'll get Sammy Hagar to replace him.

What a shock! People who have never heard of this awesome band are commenting about how they've never heard of this awesome band. Don't click through to ambiguous headlines. Instead hover over the headline & read the actual title of the article before clicking through. That way you'll be able to complain about things that have actually derailed your life.
