Tears were shed. Hearts were broken. On Oct. 29, emotions were quickly turned from joy to depression as news broke that the Jonas Brothers had officially broken up. After the band’s Twitter account had been deleted, it was virtually known throughout the interweb that the three siblings had some serious issues that needed to be dealt with. The band that started a sensation, with songs like “Burnin’ up” and “Year 3000,” is now done.
Yes, that band that sang songs with Demi Lovato in “Camp Rock?” Gone. The three brothers who had their own television series called “Jonas L.A.?” Broken up. The band that was once every pre-teen girl’s heartthrob has suddenly become separated. Did they even bother sending out an “S.O.S.” for help? Apparently not.
After the band cancelled their reunion tour that should have started in fall of 2013, news sources tried to speculate on exactly why the three had chosen to break up on such a short and unexpected notice. Each member’s Twitter accounts were inactive following the assumed split of the band. Then, on that dreadful Tuesday a little before noon, official word spread that the band was done. On that day, the band also released the statement that their reunion album, “V,” which would be their first since 2009, was cancelled as well.
But how could a group that’s been together so long (keep in mind they were brothers first) suddenly call it quits out of the blue? Some speculation, at first, was that Joe Jonas had a drug addiction, which he quickly debunked. The main reason was simply due to creative differences amongst the members. Everyone has their own opinions and styles and apparently being in a boy band with your brothers won’t change your opinion. Due to these differences, the brothers are separate from one another in a way no one ever thought possible. And because of this sudden split, they affected thousands of fans when they needed the band most. However, they should have kept in mind the thousands of lives they were affecting before they decided to call it quits.
