Siblings boy band, the Jonas Brothers, whose career took off five years ago with Disney films and TV shows, say they have decided “unanimously” to split saying “It’s over for now”
LOS ANGELES: Heartthrob boy band the Jonas Brothers are breaking up, at least “for now”.
The announcement was made on Tuesday, a few weeks after cancelling their latest tour.
The group, whose career took off five years ago with Disney films and TV shows, said they decided “unanimously” to split after a meeting earlier this month.
“It’s over for now,” Kevin Jonas told People magazine, while youngest brother Nick added: “It’s really hard to say ‘forever’, we are closing a chapter, for sure.”
“It was an unanimous decision,” added Joe.
Nick Jonas told his brothers he was worried about the band’s future during a meeting in October. “I was feeling kind of trapped,” he said. “I needed to share my heart with my brothers.”
The band cancelled a planned 19-date comeback tour and a band spokesman cited in reports said, “There is a deep rift within the band. There was a big a disagreement over their music direction.”
The sibling trio, originally from New Jersey, released their first album in August 2006, but their career took off with the Disney movie “Camp Rock” in 2008, followed by a sequel two years later. They were also given their own Disney Channel TV series.
They have sold more than 20 million records, and were nominated for Best New Artist Grammy in 2008.
They entered the Guinness Book of Records for the most singles to enter the US charts top 20 in one year, with five in 2009, and have won nearly 50 awards around the world, including an American Music Award.
