Fall Out Boy Slam Break Up Rumours

07 March 2011

Fall Out Boy singer Patrick Stump has cleared up rumours that the band broke up last year, insisting that they have not split for good.

The band went on hiatus last year, and bassist Pete Wentz hinted that the separation may have become permanent, writing on Twitter, "A hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old. I don't plan on either."

The rockers went their separate ways, with Pete forming a new band the Black Cards and Patrick launching a solo career. But the singer is adamant Fall Out Boy has not split - they are just on a break.

He tells U.S. radio programme The Gunz Show, "Fall Out Boy never broke up. That never happened. We really need a sarcasm font on the internet. We never had that conversation. A lot of kids would come up to me and say 'It really sucks you guys broke up'. I'm like, 'Man, unless you know something I don't...'

"We just went on (a) break, you know, whatever. I just wanted to clear that up."

Are you excited that there might be some more Fall Out Boy music in the near future?
