Fall Out Boy appear to have fallen out - if 'tweets' written by bassist Pete Wentz are anything to go by.

In a series of recent posts on his Twitter blog, Wentz has confirmed the band are currently on hiatus, and hints that it might be a permanent thing.

He writes, "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 (a) break.

"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."

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in 2009, Wentz explained he and his bandmates desperately needed a break from each other: "We've been seven years straight of just driving albums and tour, tour, tour. Everybody just needs to decompress."

The band formed in 2001 and became a big deal four years later, when their debut album 'From Under the Cork Tree' achieved double platinum status after selling more than 2.5 million albums in the United States alone.В
