Fall Out Boy is Kaput
by Brandon Rabideau

All four members of Fall Out Boy have quit the group in separate statements, on the heels of their announcement of a hiatus. Although no "official" statement has been released the group has made it clear that it is actually done:
On February 1, 2010, bassist Pete Wentz said on Twitter, "Don't you get it? A hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old. I don't plan on either. I can't imagine playing in FOB again. Something would have to change in my head or my heart ... not my wallet."

On February 2, 2010, Spin Magazine released an interview they had with lead singer Patrick Stump, who replied to Wentz's tweets by saying, "I'm not in Fall Out Boy right now. But one way or another, the band will always be around...Whether we play again or not, I don't know. If we do, it will be for the right reasons. If we don't, it will also be for the right reasons." Stump also told Spin.com that he was focusing on his upcoming solo career.
Later that day, drummer Andy Hurley simply tweeted, "I quit too." as guitarist Joe Trohman tweeted in reply, "Fine, I quit too."

Taken directly from his blog, errors and all, Wentz took to his blog to sum it all up saying: "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.
