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!

look in mirror for the dumbing down, clown..and turn off glen beck. he's laughing at your dumbarse in his 30mill dollar mansion like 'lonesome rhodes'
These guys suck! Why don't you listen to people who write real music like.... Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Villa-Lobos, Tarrega. I saw these guys live on some TV show and they are horrible (even for pop music). Turn off the distortion pedals and all the other effects. Long live classical guitar!!

They're popular among the younger population (meaning 90s kids). Even if you haven't heard their music,you've heard about the members. They haven't released any music lately, so their music isn't on the radio that often. I'm not a fan, myself, but a lot of people I know will be disappointed that they're splitting up.

Top 40 band played on most major top 40 stations. Although they are not my cup of tea, they have won a fair number of awards.

i really never was a FOB fan. i saw blink-182 back in october 09 and FOB opened for them. i really wasnt too excited to hear them. but when they took the stage, they really surprised me. they were incredible live. its too bad they're taking a break. i would definitely see them live again.
