Ah,the death of a teen boy band. It’s so awful that they must age and lose their boyish charm. Remember all the good times, the virginity promises, the diabetes awareness, the enormous and intimidating eyebrows of brother Joe. But time moves on and virginity is tossed out the window, at this point all thats left is men with diabetes and big brows and well- a fan base that has also moved on.
The message, posted online reads, “To Our Dear Friends and Fans Around the World, It is with heavy hearts that we confirm that our time as the Jonas Brothers is over. This decision has not come lightly, and we know that many of you will be disappointed. The time has come for us to move forward on individual career paths. We have been a band of brothers for 10 years and are now choosing simply to be brothers. Going forward, you can expect exciting things from each of us, and we will of course continue to support each other in all things.
“We would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who has supported and inspired us through the years, and stood by us in this difficult decision. We feel and appreciate your love. Because you waited so long for new music, we want to honor our Team Jonas fan club members by giving you our final album. This digital-only album contains four new studio recordings that would have appeared on our V album (which will now go unreleased). In addition, we’re including 10 live tracks that we feel capture the energy and excitement of this past summer’s tour…
“We hope you enjoy this album as much as we’ve enjoyed performing for you over the last 10 years. It has been an amazing experience. You will always be the best fans in the world. Kevin, Joe & Nick.”
OK why is the album going unreleased? Do you think it’s the ace in hand for a reunion in sixmonths or whenever they need cash? And what the heck sort of solo projects do you think we will get? A few guest spots on Celebrity Chefs? A bit run on a Broadway musical? Let’s face it, these guys will end up on the Super Bowl Halftime Show or some other nonsense. Until then.. thanks for the memories.
