According to FMBQ.com through a series of TWITTER postings and various interviews, it appears that FALL OUT BOY have made their self-imposed hiatus more permanent. On Monday night, bassist/songwriter PETE WENTZ told fans via Twitter that, "A hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old. I don't plan on either." Later, he wrote, "I can't imagine playing in FOB again. Something would have to change in my head or my heart... not my wallet."

Wentz expanded in his blog, writing that, "I don't know the future of Fall Out Boy. It's 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 don't have a solo project, I also can't predict that I'd ever play in Fall Out Boy again, not due to personal relationships as much as [that as] a band we grew apart."

He added, "In this statement I'd like to include there is the possibility that FOB will play again without me, or I will be a part of it when everyone is on the same page. It is no one's fault, and there is no animosity about the decision." The statement continued, "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, then so be it. I am proud of it."
Next, singer Patrick Stump told Spin in an interview simply, "I'm not in Fall Out Boy anymore." He added, "One way or another, the band will always be around. Steven Tyler isn't in Aerosmith anymore, but his gravestone will probably say something about Aerosmith. 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."

"I'm really not worried about Fall Out Boy," Stump added. "I'm so psyched about where I'm at right now, recording this solo album."

As for the rest of the band, FOB drummer Andy Hurley quickly took to Twitter to write, "I quit too." Guitarist Joe Trohman followed on Twitter, with the jokey message that "I just did interviews with Span Magazine, Rabbling Stone and Blunder about how much quitting I done."
