It’s true! There’s even a single to prove it! After denying it over and over, Fall Out Boy has officially announced their return to the stage and our headphones. Bassist Pete Wentz even told us “…don’t hold your breath” only two days ago. It’s a good thing that we are a huge bunch of skeptics, because “Save Rock and Roll,” the band’s first album since 2008, will be released on May 7th. Too long to wait? Don’t fret; the band starts playing shows again starting…TONIGHT! That first show is, of course, already sold out, but there are plenty more on the way.
Along with all of these announcements, the band has made this statement:
when we were kids the only thing that got us through most days was music. its why we started fall out boy in the first place. this isn’t a reunion because we never broke up. we needed to plug back in and make some music that matters to us.
the future of fall out boy starts now.
save rock and roll…
