Jonas Brothers Split!

The band confirmed – which they say was a “unanimous decision” – following a series of blazing rows

Boyband the Jonas Brothers have left their legion of fans heartbroken after announcing they have split following a series of blazing rows.

Two weeks ago they abruptly cancelled their 19-date comeback tour just days before it was due to begin after a “deep rift within the band” is said to have developed between the three siblings.

They fuelled fan fears they were about to split when they deleted their Twitter account.

Despite Nick and Joe taking to their personal accounts last week to beg fans to be patient, on Tuesday [Oct 29] it was announced the band were quitting.

Confirming the split Kevin, 25, said: “It’s over for now.”

Nick, 21, added: “It’s really hard to say ‘forever. We’re closing a chapter, for sure.”

Joe, 24, simply said: “It was a unanimous decision.”

It came after a meeting on October 3, where Nick confessed to his brothers that he had serious concerns about the future of the band.

“I was feeling kind of trapped,” he said. “I needed to share my heart with my brothers.”

Problems surfaced in the band several weeks ago as the brothers endured several blazing arguments.

Their spokesman, Jesse Derris, said at the time: “There is a deep rift within the band. There was a big a disagreement over their music direction.”
