Black Roses, Were You There? The Rose's Last Manila Show Before Their Break

Black Roses, how are we holding up?

The Rose performed ROSETOPIA at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on Saturday, August 15. It was their last Manila show before the band goes on a break.

The setlist highlights

• "Back To Me"

• "Lifeline"

• "Sorry"

• "Yes"

• "Blue Moon"

• And two from their upcoming album "ROSE": "Walking on Clouds" and "Chemical"

The tea from the stage

Woosung shared that he had vocal surgery, which pushed back the album. He also revealed that the album name "ROSE" was planned around 10 years ago, back when the band started.

Wait, why the break?

The band announced in April that they'll pause after this tour and the album. Woosung said they'd been so focused on the band that they want time to explore their own interests and "learn again about ourselves."

Their message to fans: this is a break to rest and grow, not goodbye.

So, see you on the other side, The Rose. We'll be waiting.
