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.
