Pete Wentz has confirmed that Fall Out Boy have not split up but are just “on a break”.

The 30-year-old star recently left fans worried when he posted messages on his Twitter page saying that he didn’t think he would be playing with the band again.

However, he has now said to E! online: “We’re just on a break. I think that after having Bronx, and with my wife [Ashlee Simpson] having this much of a workload right now, it has been such a good thing for me.

“There’s nothing I wanna be better at in the world than being a dad.”

Although Fall Out Boy formally announced a hiatus last summer, it appears that it could be the end of the band for good. Bassist Pete Wentz recently posted a message on his website saying “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 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.” Lead singer Patrick Stump seems to think the same thing as he said “I’m not in Fall Out Boy right now, but 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.”

The band Fall Out Boy has just set a new record and oddly enough, it has nothing to do with the amount of albums sold. It seems that the guys did a record-breaking 72 radio interviews in one day. That’s a Guinness World Record folks! On Halloween day, Pete Wentz and lead vocalist Patric Vaughn Stump took to their challenge and began at the ungodly hour of 3AM with the calls. The guys managed to beat the previous record for the ‘Most Interviews on Radio in a 24 Hour Period by a Pair of Two’ which was set back in May 2008 with 57 radio calls in 24 hours.

Their new album may have been pushed back until December 16th but you can still listen to a new song from Fall Out Boy’s new album ‘Folie a Deux’. The song ‘What a Catch, Donnie’ is a beautiful anthem ballad about life and finding acceptance. It really reminds me of an Elton John song. I’m not sure if it’s going to be a single but I think it should. The song features a lot of other musicians including Panic at the Disco’s Brendon Urie, Cobra Starship’s Gabe Saporta, The Academy Is’ William Beckett, Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy singing a couple of Fall Out Boy’s classic songs towards the end. Elvis Costello is also featured on the song.
