The Jonas Brothers officially call it quits

CEBU, Philippines -  Sorry, Jonas Brothers fans: The musical trio is officially disbanding. The pop stars made the official announcement on Oct. 29, just less than three weeks after they cancelled their fall tour due to “a deep rift within the band.”

“It’s over for now,” said 25-year-old Kevin Jonas, who is expecting his first child with his wife, Danielle. Drummer and vocalist Nick Jonas, 21, echoed his eldest brother’s sentiments. “It’s really hard to say ‘forever,’” he said. “We’re closing a chapter, for sure.”

The group decided to call it quits on Oct. 3 when Nick shared some serious concerns about their future. “I was feeling kind of trapped,” he told People. “I needed to share my heart with my brothers.”

According to Joe Jonas, however, Nick merely voiced what they all were feeling. “It was a unanimous decision,” the 24-year-old solo singer explained.

After the New Jersey-born Jonas Brothers were signed to Hollywood Records in 2005, they went on to sell more than 20 million albums worldwide. They starred in two “Camp Rock” movies and headlined their own Disney Channel show. In 2009, Nick formed his own blues rock band, called Nick Jonas and the Administration. (FREEMAN)
