The Black Eyed Peas Are Taking An Indefinite Hiatus

Black Eyed Peas On Break

Fans won't be dancing to any new hits from The Black Eyed Peas for a while.

The funkadelic band broke the news in Staffordshire that they were about to begin an indefinite break from making music.

Promises were made that while they wouldn't be performing again for a long time, it wouldn't be for forever.

The band does plan on reuniting once again in the future, with Will.i.am tweeting:

The @Bep will take a break after the beginning…just like we did from monkey business to the e.n.d…but it doesn't mean we stop creating.

The last time they took a break, it lasted four years while Fergie rocked her solo career.

This time we're betting it has to do with babies. Little Fergalicious babies.

What do U think?

    2. 2

      The Funkadelic band? Dont You dare use those two names in a sentence - its an insult to real funk and George Clinton - And Finally, I dont have to hear that garbage ass music for a while…



    3. 3

      I was at the gig in Alton Towers (Staffordshire) they SMASHED IT! Then bummed everybody out with the news they were calling it quits :\



    4. 4

      GOD I hope this is permanent



    5. 5

      I was at this gig in Alton Towers (Staffordshire) they absolutely SMASHED IT! Then bummed everyone out by telling the crowd they were taking a break! :\



    6. 6

    7. 7

      I love the BEP but it's time for them to take a break. These artists need to realize that even fans get sick of them when they're out there too much. Give us something to look forward to rather then drowning us with songs. There are some others out there that need to take a break also. Use the down time to try and come up with something creative and different too rather then this autotuned club crap. BEP needs to go back to their Where Is The Love days.



    9. 9

      Great news. My ears won't bleed until they're back.



    10. 10

      Good because there new album was absolutely terrible. Fergie is getting too old she needs a new face and needs to learn how to perform live.



    11. 11

      I don't care- I have some strange bias against Fergie.. but I bet she's trying to get preggers.



    12. 12

      I heard that they are into some radical polyamorical thing with Oprah, Stedman, and Gayle. But it would be good if they were to take, say, a few decades off. I would like to lick Fergie dry too.



    13. 13

      Why do they need to go on hiatus? Is there not enough music out for them to plagiarize?



    14. 14

      Good luck BEP! Enjoy your rest and your family.

      Wasn't there a story about a year ago announcing the same thing?

      Re: themadprincess – Don't just pick on Fergie please….that is not cool and actually sexist….the men are ugly if not much more ugly than Fergie…cool to have an opinion, however don't target just women. Thank you.



    17. 17

      Finally!! I hope it's a lonnnng one - and by long one I mean permanently.



    18. 18

      I'm proud to say that I don't know one Black Eye Pea song. Not one of em on my iPOD



    19. 19

      YAYYYYY!



    20. 20

      can they take gaga with them?



    21. 21

      Its probably cuz Will.I.Am is trying to do a solo record. I don't know why. The BEP albums are pretty much a duet album of him and Fergie anyway.



    22. 22

      Thank you, Jesus!!



    23. 23

      Re: purplegloss – LMAO!!



    24. 24

      "Big Peas Don't Cry…." lmao



    25. 25

      they are kinda lame.



    26. 26

      Do not call them a funkadelic band, you asswipe.



    27. 27

      Hopefully all that plagiarism finally caught up to them…it gets really monotonous listening to them constantly take good songs and turn them into shit.



    28. 28

      thank FUCK! they suck.



    29. 29

      GOOD. GOOD. GOOD. Good!!! I can't wait to live through the day when I NEVER EVER EVER EVER hear one of their songs. They're absolutely the lowest, tackiest, taste in music I have ever been exposed to, and if you happen to enjoy it, that's a direct reflection on you.

      What's wrong with the world, mama
      People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
      I think the whole world addicted to the drama
      Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
      Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
      But we still got terrorists here livin'
      But if you only have love for your own race
      Then you only leave space to discriminate
      And to discriminate only generates hate
      And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
      Madness is what you demonstrate
      And that's exactly how anger works and operates
      Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
      Take control of your mind and meditate
      Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
      Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
      Can you practice what you preach
      And would you turn the other cheek
      Father, Father, Father help us
      Send some guidance from above
      'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
      Where is the love (Love)
      It just ain't the same, always unchanged
      New days are strange, is the world insane
      If love and peace is so strong
      Why are there pieces of love that don't belong



    31. 31

      Father, Father, Father help us
      Send some guidance from above
      'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
      Where is the love (Love)
      Where is the love (The love)
      Where is the love (The love)
      Where is the love (The love)
      Where is the love, the love, the love?
      I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
      As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
      Most of us only care about money makin'
      Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
      Wrong information always shown by the media
      Negative images is the main criteria
      Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
      Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
      Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
      Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
      Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
      Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
      That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
      That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
      There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
      Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
      Now ask yourself
      Where is the love?

      Re: almostfamousz_x3 – I saw a picture of her on E! Online the other day, ahd she had on a pair of SUPER short-shorts, and I mean DAMN short. And it wasn't even for stage- they were denim, and she was just walking around town in them. She needs to get it in her mind that although she's hot, she needs to dress AGE APPROPRIATE. It doesn't mean that she needs to go all matronly, it just means that she needs a few tips on how get a good look going. But when it comes to those denim shorts she had on, even I'M too old to wear them, and i'm barely in my mid-twenties!



    33. 33

      hahahaah CREATING MUSIC?!?! they must mean STEALING other peoples great creativity and adding a shitload of autotune and busy ass beats….I think this is great. These days people who call themselves artists are manufactured with no real soul.
