If you’ve heard that line from a boyfriend or girlfriend in the past, you know how likely it is that the Black Eyed Peas will actually reunite. Still, they’re denying rumors that they’re officially breaking up and say instead that they’re just “taking a break” from making music together for a while.
“We’re going to take a little vacation and focus on our personal things,” said Apl.de.ap who will be focusing on his duties as ambassador for education in the Philippines. Yep, that’s right. The same guy that sings says things like “boom boom pow” and “lovely lady lumps” is an ambassador for education.
According to fellow band member, Will.i.am, this is the cycle under which the band operates normally: two cycles of records, and then a break to work on side projects and personal stuff.
The band will play their final concert before the break in Miami today, which will feature Marc Antony, Cee Lo Green, Flo Rida, Sean Kingston and Jason Derulo.
At least they’re going out in style. Which is more than I can say for me and my highschool boyfriend …
It sounds like this could be a horrible joke, but sadly it seems to be true – the Black Eyed Peas are opening a music school in New York City, with the aim of teaching the young people of Manhattan how to make some killer tracks. Â But don’t worry, Fergie’s not going to be teaching anyone how to sing – the school’s courses are going to focus on the production side of the music business.
