Taking Back Sunday not broken up

Rumors have been flying all over the internet in recent days [many started by those oh-so-reputable "news" sites out there] saying that Victory Records stars Taking Back Sunday have thrown in the towel. Here is an official statement from the band:

"We know there are many rumors and speculations going on about the status of
Taking Back Sunday. There have been a series of personal events with
members of the band. Right now the five of us really need some time to
devote to our personal well-being.

We can't apologize enough to the people who this affects. Our fans have
been there to support us 100% and we've always held that the closest to our
hearts. The business surrounding this crazy thing we've been doing has
been supportive as well and we've constantly been thankful. This isn't
meant as something to harm that or the people involved. It is an attempt to
protect and honor the value of what you've all been generous enough to
appreciate. We need very much to take a step back at this time and we truly
thank you for even considering understanding."

The band has cancelled their upcoming appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, but has not announced yet whether or not this will affect their scheduled headlining spot on the Warped Tour this year. We'll keep you posted.
