Run-DMC is one of the most influential names in the history of hip-hop. The group, formed in the 1980s, is getting its final bow later this spring. Their final show is slated for April at Madison Square Garden in the group’s hometown of New York City. The concert will also be part of an upcoming documentary about the legendary rap outfit.
Run-DMC’s Darryl “DMC” McDaniels shared the news in an interview with Rock the Bells, noting that the group’s decision is final. McDaniels is one of two living members of the original trio. The other is Joseph “Rev. Run” Simmons. Jam Master Jay (born Jason Mizell), the group’s DJ, died in 2002. “Run-DMC is over,” the 58-year-old DMC told the publication. “The only way Run-DMC gets back together is if the Beatles get back together. Can that happen?”
