The Celebrity Truth

Nick Jonas might be launching his own band, but that doesn’t mean the JoBros are shutting up shop. Despite rumors to the contrary, the Jonas Brothers have confirmed that the band is not breaking up, saying “We plan to make music together for as long as we can.”

The three brothers explained all in a letter to fans, which they shared with People magazine.

“We’ve said from the beginning of our career as the Jonas Brothers that anything we do outside of the group is a side project because you can’t break up brothers,” Nick, 17, writes of his band Nick Jonas & the Administration, which is releasing an album next year.

“My brothers are my biggest supporters, and were on the phone with me every day while I was in the studio, asking how it was going, and telling me they couldn’t wait to hear the record.”

Joe and Kevin add, “We are so proud of our brother Nick. We know that we will be doing music together for the rest of our lives. But we are thrilled for you to hear these songs that were on his heart.”

Rumors that the band were planning to split surfaced after Nick formed his band and Kevin, 21, announced plans to get married.

The band wrote a letter to their fans just before taking the stage in Venezuela, where they are performing as part of a world tour.

The trio say the reports have no basis in fact.

“A three-chord strand is not easily broken, and one thing’s for sure,” they write.

“This three chord strand is stronger now than it’s ever been.”
