PIONEERING Christian rock band Petra are to fold. According to a report posted by Josh Renaud of PetraRocksMyWorld.com, the band are about to announce their pending retirement after 33 years. Renaud writes, "Europeans who saw Petra perform recently sent word to American fans that founder Bob Hartman and lead singer John Schlitt had been talking about retirement. Hartman confirmed to petrarocksmyworld.com that it wasn't just talk. He and Schlitt have decided 'it's time to call it quits,' Hartman said. 'This will most likely be our last year of ministry. We don't expect to be doing any concerts after November at the latest.'" CR
