Blink-182 going on hiatus

LOS ANGELES Modern rock band Blink-182 is taking a break.

The band's management has issued a statement through its record label saying Blink-182 is going on "indefinite hiatus." It says the band members want to spend time enjoying the fruits of their labors with loved ones.

The statement says the band has toured, recorded and promoted its music non-stop for over a decade. The members have no set plan to begin working together again.

Blink-182 is known for the hits "All The Small Things," "What's My Age Again" and "The Rock Show."

I think theres a bit more to it than what the press is saying. They were supposed to have played in a benifit show here in Orange County last weekend and they cancelled at the last minute.

Nah... all of them are married, have kids and are rich. They've been touring and recording non-stop for a number of years. From what I've heard they really just want some time off... they wanted to hang with their kids instead of on a bus.

Do you mean to tell me that these people would rather spend the nights in their multi-million dollar homes (in their own bed) as opposed to crammed on a tour bus with other people? I don't believe it.
