And among those 67,000 activists was Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz. The event was called Displace Me, organized by Invisible Children, a California nonprofit group aimed at… Read more »

Five days after announcing that Fall Out Boy were postponing the Honda Civic Tour due to “personal issues” (a nebulous explanation that put the rumor mill into overdrive with a quickness), Pete Wentz would like to make several things clear: “No one has left the band, no one is dead, and no one is going to rehab,” he told MTV News late Monday. “I need that as a big pull-quote, man, because everyone thinks that. It’s the danger of language and the danger of the times we’re in. “It’s a health issue, but not a health issue that anyone needs… Read more »
