==Rumors of a breakup== | |||
Shortly after Weezer's 2005 ''Make Believe'' tour, [[Rivers Cuomo]] returned to Harvard to finish a degree in English. [[Pat Wilson]], meanwhile, set out to work on [[The Special Goodness]], having scrapped sessions he did a year earlier with [[Scott Shriner]]. [[Brian Bell]] started a brand new project called [[The Relationship]]. With all four members of Weezer off pursuing different projects, little was spoken of on the Weezer front. | |||
In June of 2006, Rivers married [[Kyoko Ito]] and the two honeymooned in Japan. While in Japan, Rivers did an interview with MTV. The article was finally published and its selling point was that Weezer had broken up. Despite Rivers never saying "Weezer have broken up", he did say, "Really, for the moment, we are done. And I'm not certain we'll ever make a record again, unless it becomes really obvious to me that we need to do one." Rivers would later admit that he was peeved to have to do an interview on his honeymoon. Additionally, the interviewer was a rookie, and perhaps a bit gullible. Still, the damage was done, and well into 2008 many people were under the impression that Weezer had broken up. The band was quick to dismiss the breakup rumors on the band's official site, where webmaster [[Karl Koch]] posted a picture of Rivers, Brian and Scott sitting around the table. | |||
