Word on the street is that Fall Out Boy have split!
With Pete Wentz writing songs with Mark Hoppus (Blink 182), Patrick Stump announcing a solo project and FOB guitarist Joe Trohman and drummer Andy Hurley announcing a new band called the Damned Things with members of Every Time I Die and Anthrax, it seemed like they were setting themself up for the break.
Pete Wentz posted this blog last night
“I dont know the future of fall out boy. its embarrassing to say one thing and then have the future dictate another. as far as i know fall out boy is on break. (no one wants to say the “h” word). as much as i dont have a solo project, i also cant predict that id ever play in fall out boy again. not due to personal relationships as much as a band we grew apart. in this statement id like to include there is the possibility that fob will play again with out me or i will be a part of it when everyone is on the same page. it is no ones fault and there is no animosity about the decision. i felt as fans you deserve to know. there is no singular reason for this. the side projects or bands are supported by all members of the band. i am the single biggest fan of fob and if this is our legacy than so be it. i am proud of it.”
I wasn’t much of a fan of their more recent stuff, but their first few albums were pretty awesome so this news comes as a shock! A great loss to the music world if this is really the end!
What’s your thoughts?
I leave you with one of my favourite FOB tracks “Dead On Arrival”
