Speaking on their fantastic achievement, the band said:
“We never imagined we’d be having such a high chart position after 23 years, so we are incredibly grateful.
“We are brothers who have been through a lot of ups and downs together, and this is a high moment we are going to remember for a long time.
“If it wasn’t for the fans, we wouldn’t be here in the first place and to actually see them turn up for us, it speaks louder than numbers do. This is for them. We owe it all to you, it means the world we and we love you so much. This is the beginning of more, we’re not gonna stop now!”
