Frontman Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy says he is no longer with the band . The singer – who is currently recording his debut solo LP – has confirmed he is no longer working with the group and doesn’t think they will ever return from the hiatus they announced last November. He told Spin magazine:
“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.
“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 Patrick’s comments, his bandmates Andy Hurley and Joe Trohman also revealed they are no longer in the group.
Drummer Andy tweeted: “I quit too.”
Guitarist Joe added on his twitter page: “I just did interviews with Span Magazine, Rabbling Stone and Blunder about how much quitting I done. (sic)”
The trio’s comment come after bassist and group spokesperson Pete Wentz admitted this week he “can’t imagine” playing with Fall Out Boy again.
A hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old. I don’t plan on either. Can’t imagine playing in FOB again. As a band we grew apart. Letting go of this giant part of my life has been hard.”
A spokesperson would not comment on the band’s future.

Emo was horrible. They were horrible. One good song only. The rest was rubbish. They lasted way too long.
don’t really listen to their music so it’s not big deal.
if you never listened to thier music or didn’t like them, why are you reading this or commenting? shut the fuck up
Oh, they’ll all come back to the well when they realize no one cares about them solo. Need I say “Blink 182″?
don’t listen to their music so i don’t care.
Maybe fall out boys are already fading out but their music is still on the speakers of thier fans….
Love their music? falloutboyforum.com to know more about them

Well, I kind of saw this one coming. They released a greatest hits/best of album late last year.
Not too sad about this. I hope Patrick’s new stuff is good, i like him.
