Pete Wentz, the most recognizable member of Fall Out Boy right after the guy who plays the drums (it’s a guy on the drums, right?), has split from the band. Pete and his black nail polish must take their boy-on-boy action somewhere else. Pete wrote on his blog:
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.
Fans of the band are absolutely devastated. Hopefully they’ll try to kill themselves and finally end the trend of skinny jeans and being gay just because they think it’s the cool thing to do.
