Fall Out Boy Suicide Drama
Fall Out Boy's bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz has sensationally confessed that he attempted to take his own life in a failed suicide attempt a few years ago.
Speaking to MTV, Wentz said: "I got in my car. I remember I was listening to Jeff Buckley doing Leonard Cohen's ‘Hallelujah’ and sat there and took a bunch of [anti-anxiety prescription drug] Ativan in a Best Buy parking lot.
“I called up my manager because I was, at that point, completely out of my head with Ativan. And I was talking to him and I was slurring my words, so he called my mom and my mom called me and she came and got me and we went to the hospital."
And who says that emo has no substance?

This might sound stupid but I really wish they wouldn't say the song he was doing it to because all people who read this article who have never heard that song are going to think its nothing but a depressing suicide tune, which it really isn't!!!!
