Drummer of Fall Out Boy Andy Hurley has announced through his Twitter page that the band is officially on hiatus.

Hurley announced via Twitter on Sunday that he was recording new material. That probably misled fans because Hurley later felt compelled to write that he meant he was recording with Burning Empires, his side project, not Fall Out Boy.

"Everyone, when i say I'm recording, it's with Burning Empires. FOB is on hiatus. For real," he stated.

Burning Empires is Andy's side project which features members from Misery Signals, 7 Angels 7 Plagues and Fall Out Boy.

Bassist Pete Wentz told British magazine Kerrang!, "My biggest personal reason for taking a break is that I feel my name has become a hindrance for the band. (Frontman Patrick Stump) is a musical genius and it's unfortunate that he gets reviewed based on whatever's going on in my personal life or how my hair looks. I think the world needs a little less Pete Wentz. A lot of people think Fall Out Boy is me. But it's the four of us. I want to f**king vomit when I read intros that say, 'Pete Wentz: accidental internet poster boy.' It makes me feel ugly."
