I'm not especially surprised to read that Alfie have split as they do seem to have been struggling frustratingly against indifference despite reasonable promotion and a Parlophone deal for quite some time. Even as someone whose distaste for James Blunt is well documented this seems a really unnecessary sour note to end on though:
"As you know, we have always endeavoured to stay 'true to ourselves' musically, and we perhaps somewhat naively thought that this would be sufficient to catapult us into the upper stratosphere of the popular music world. It wasn't, and unfortunately, although it's true that a single note of one of our songs holds more worth than ten thousand James Blunt albums (a chilling thought) this has never been apparent to the record buying public as a whole.''
They do make up for it a bit by actually thanking the fans too, I guess.
