Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre, 79, and his partner had split up. Is the English musician really single again?

UPDATE 18/05/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Barre spotted alone

A fan spotted Martin Barre walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of May 16, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Martin back on the market?

A rep for Martin Barre was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the musician was splitting hit the internet Sunday (May 17), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Martin’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”

Based on the facts (Barre spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
