The End of Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy members Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump have confirmed the rumors that Fall Out Boy is not currently together. "As far as I know Fall Out Boy is on break...I can't predict that I'd ever play in Fall Out Boy again," Wentz blogged on Tuesday.

Stump made a comment affirming this to Spin.com. "I'm not in Fall Out Boy right now," he said. Stump's statement just refers to the state of the band right now, but Wentz sees the breakup as a more permanent thing. "A hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old, [and] I don't plan on either," Wentz tweeted. He also tweeted that in order for him to continue with Fall Out Boy "Something would have to change in my head or my heart--not my wallet. It'd have to be real."

The band member do still have fond memories together and a group reunion or a new incarnation of the group is not out of the question. "One way or another, the band will always be around," Stump said. Wentz added on his blog, "There is a possibility that FOB will play again with or without me."

Pete Wentz and Tyrone Wells Spread The Love!

This Valentine’s day, Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy and singer-songwriter Tyrone Wells are playing cupid for a cause. Invisible Children, a media-based organization that provides relief for the war-affected people of northern Uganda, is holding a raffle to win a personalized Valentine’s videogram for your sweetheart. Tickets can be purchased as two for $2, four for $5, or 20 for $20 on Invisible Children’s online store until February 11th.

Winners will receive a personal note from Pete or Tyrone to their Valentine via video on February 14th, with all proceeds going to Invisible Children. The raffle’s inception came about with Wells in 2008, who has largely been involved with Invisible Children throughout the years. Wells has participated in their national event called the Global Night Commute, and by selling the original ‘Rough Cut’ documentary on the road. Wentz has also been an active advocate for the organization, taking Invisible Children out on three Fall Out Boy tours, including their upcoming tour in April, along with his involvement in other fundraising initiatives, including his recent art show in Los Angeles with Travis from Gym Class Heroes.

Invisible Children’s ability to creatively integrate a community of musicians and artists around its mission has generated a global awareness about the longest-running war in Africa in an entirely unique way. With the success of 12 band tours, benefit shows, and music festivals like Bamboozle and Warped tour, Invisible Children has empowered artists to use their voice in a powerful and inspiring way.

We Are Lovin' This! Go Fall Out Boy!

Fall Out Boy's new album, Folie a Deux, is currently scheduled to go on sale on election day in America, Tuesday, November 4th. The band is now having serious doubts about the 'cutesy' election day tie-in and hope that their label changes the release date. This is pretty cool, we are feelin' Fall Out Boy on this one, good decision.

Read further for more, the band explains, "Six months ago we thought it would be a fun idea to release our album on election day but this is not the election to be cute. We felt as though rather than making a commentary we were only riding the wave of the election. This seemed less and less like what we intended to do and more of a gimmick. It is now in the hands of our label to give us a new release date… it is our intent to get our record out this year and as soon as possible — as we made sure to have it done in time for its original release."

The elections are a serious matter! According to Pete Wentz, a member of the band, the new date for their upcoming album is now December 16th!

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are engaged!

During a family getaway to Colorado for his brother art exhibit, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz got down on one knee and asked Ashlee to be his wife. She said "Yes", of course! According to friends and family members everyone is completely thrilled and say the couple is very much in love. As long as they stay away from the reality show camera's perhaps this one will go much better than the marriage of a certain unnamed Simpson sister.
