There have been many groups in the past who claimed they were only taking a break so each of them could pursue other interests. Many of those groups never got back together. The Fugees was one of them, so was NSync. Black Eyed Peas who has ruled the charts for the past few years with hit after hit is now following in those footsteps and taking a "Break" from making music together. The group denies they are breaking up, but break up rumors were also denied by other groups in the past who took a "Break".
"We are not breaking up," band member Taboo told Reuters on Monday at a launch party for their video dance game, "The Black Eyed Peas Experience."
"We're going to take a little vacation and focus on our personal things," added Apl.de.ap, real name Allan Lindo, Jr. who will be focusing on his duties as ambassador for education in the Philippines.
Will.i.am told TV chat show host Ellen DeGeneres, in an interview to be aired on Wednesday, that the band "always have two cycles of records and then we take a break."
