D.M.C. recently shared why Run-D.M.C. will end following their last Madison Square Garden performance. D.M.C. said about filming the documentary to document their final days as a group, “Run-D.M.C. is over. The only way Run-D.M.C. gets back together is if The Beatles get back together.

Can that happen?” He continued, “The final show that we are ever going to do is going to be at Madison Square Garden in April.” He added, “It’s going to be the last episode of the documentary we’re doing.

Run-D.M.C.’s last show ever. ‘Cause, it’s time for Run to go be Paul McCartney and me to be John Lennon. We done did what we could do.” He also shared that after the killing of Jam Master Jay, the iconic group could never be whole again.


Back in 1983 when the group was founded, the members were Joseph Simmons (RUN), Darryl McDaniels (DMC) and Jason Mizell (Jam Master Jay). The group made classics throughout the 80s-90s.

In October 2002, Jam Master Jay was murdered in his Queens studio. The suspects, Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Tinard Washington have recently been indicted and arrested in 2020. Jay was 37 years-old.
