Fall Out Boy Members Address Falling Out
Fall Out Boy is finito. Two members of the band have confirmed what people have been speculating for months. Frontman Patrick Stump told Spin that he is "not in Fall Out Boy right now, while bassist
Pete Wentz gave a statement on his blog Tuesday. "As far as I know, Fall Out Boy is on break," Wentz wrote. "I can't predict that I'd ever play in Fall Out Boy again."
Although this could technically be called a hiatus, don't expect a to see them playing together any time soon. "A hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old, [and] I don't plan on either," Wentz tweeted. "Something would have to change in my head or my heart – not my wallet," he added. "It'd have to be real."
While the original Fall Out Boy probably won't stay in tact, the gang is still open to a reunion, or even the band going on with new members.
"One way or another, the band will always be around," Stump said. Wentz agreed: "There is the possibility that FOB will play again with or without me."
Stump is already at work on a solo album. Wentz, who has a one-year-old son with
Ashlee Simpson, is looking forward to new projects as well, including a possible tour. "Letting go of this giant part of my life has been hard," Wentz wrote on his blog. "But I want to be back on tour having my son watch me from the side of the stage."
Mark Hoppus of Blink 182 joked about the situation on Twitter, writing "
For the record: as of right now, I am also quitting Fall Out Boy." John Mayer responded, making his own
fake announcement. "
I am replacing Mark Hoppus in Fall Out Boy." FOB may live on after all!

Great, Wentz better stay away from Craig Owens, Chiodos already kicked him out, he doesn't need Wentz to ruin him even more.

Maybe that's because the band is called FALL OUT BOY not Fall In Boy. Dumbass.
probably because your a republican douchebag
What does political affiliation have to do with liking / disliking FOB ? They are gay no matter who you vote for.
So where does it say anywhere that they split up? So-called journalists sure like making something out of nothing, they're not saying anything they haven't been saying for months now. People are getting married and raising kids in this band, they've been a band for 9 years now, them taking a break does not mean they're "split up".
And the "jokes" are because nobody has split up and they're making fun of how stupid it is.

Just because you haven't heard of Fall Out Boy doesn't mean AOL news isn't reporting on something that isn't American. Fall Out Boy is an American band, and they made the song "Thnks fr th Mmrs! (Thanks for the memories, #11 on the Billboard)" and "This ain't a scene, it's an arm's race, which peaked at #2 on the Billboard. By the way, thnks fr the mmrs was named that way because their label kept yelling at them for having long song titles, so they disemvowled their song's title as a kiss off to the corporate big wig who didn't want them to be themselves. They played at the president's inaugural ball and the title of their song is a character from the golden years of The Simpsons. Fall Out Boy is the name of radioactive man's sidekick. They are a band that was formed by a few guys, some of whom were still in high school. They worked hard playing several gigs and releasing albums before they got their big break and billboard success. They really couldn't be MORE American.
You are not missing anything. Overproduced, oversynthesized crap rock. Truly awful music from almost every perspective. Still leaps and bounds above rap, however.
dude, america voted in landslide fashion for obama, and america still supports him well over 50% (higher than reagan at this time in his run). amazing since dumbarse america has been brainwashed by fux news, rash limpbaughlz, and the rest of vile corporate shilling conservative media. go tea bag one of your dumb redneck friends, you ignorant baboon...
go tea bag one of your dumb redneck friend with this fux news deranged whine, you ignorant baboon. obamas well past reagan at this point in his prez run, and won in landslide fashion by america..fool
I can honestly say that I cannot even recall a song they have ever sung! Who are these people? What radio station plays there music? And I listen to a top radio station all day! Prediction, Ashley and this guy she is married too will be on the splits in 2 years, his career will go no where and she is just as bad, what has she done in the last couple of years ??????

Thks fr th mmmrs (thanks for the memories). This ain't a scene, it's an arms race. Sugar, we're going down swingin. Dance Dance. To name a few. They were quite popular, actually.
Well, all of the top 40 stations play them, since they are a top 40 band. They are not exactly my cup of tea, but they are a widely known, often played band.
What has she done? She gave birth and is raising a beautiful baby outside of the media as much as possible. She has given up show business to raise a family like a responsible adult. She hasn't turned to some crutch, like alcohol or drugs or just go insane for the public and paparazzi like other celeb moms do. She's a great mother and has found her calling with her child. What have YOU done?
So Wentz said he doesn't plan on getting old? And he wants it to be real when/if he returns? Getting older is real. Is there that much self-hatred that he hates the potential "old" version of himself? That is angst!!
