Fall Out Boy headed to Splitsville?

Teenage and tween-age girls all around the world were heard screaming cries of anguish last week when it was falsely reported that Fall Out Boy was breaking up.

When asked if the band was working on any new material, bassist Pete Wentz stated that they were not, and had no immediate plans to, either.  Wentz also went on to add that the band was taking some time to “breathe.”  But hang on to your eyeliner, boys and girls, Fall Out Boy is not going anywhere.

Wentz unknowingly fired up the old rumor mill, however, he recently spoke with MTV to clear to matter up.

He said: “I think I fueled that rumor accidentally. I think that when someone asked me if we were working on any new Fall Out Boy songs, I said, ‘No, not right now.’ “We’re working on getting the Blink-182 tour. Then we’ll see where we’re standing. “I don’t know that the world has to be all Fall Out Boy, all the time. When I see stuff like that with other bands, it sort of drives me crazy.”

There, does that clear that up for you?  Pete and his boys aren’t breaking up.  They’re just seeing other people for now.
