We want you to know that we love you and thank you for the support you’ve given from the beginning, said Fergie. “We’re going to be taking a break just like we did after we released Monkey Business in 2005 until we came back in 2009. But this isn’t going to be the last time you’ll see us.”

will.i.am later confirmed the news via his Twitter page, assuring fans that this isn’t the last of BEP 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. There will certainly be solo projects galore, but anyone who’s ever been broken up with knows that it always starts by “taking a break.”
