Soon after the November announcement stating that Fall Out Boy were going on hiatus, bassist Pete Wentz commented, "A hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old. I don't plan on either. Can't imagine playing in FOB again." He later commented, "As a band we grew apart. Letting go of this giant part of my life has been hard."
Now Fall Out Boy vocalist Patrick Stump confirmed he was not working with the band and believes that the hiatus will be prolonged indefinitely. Currently, Stump is recording what will become his solo debut. He recently told Spin Magazine, "I'm not in Fall Out Boy right now.....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. I'm so psyched about where I'm at right now, recording this solo album."
Following Stump's comments, FOB band members Andy Hurley and Joe Trohman also said they were not in the band.
