AceShowbiz - Despite nearly three years without new albums, Fun. are still together. Responding to fans' questions if they've broken up, the trio made up of Nate Ruess, Jack Antonoff and Andrew Dost posted a long statement on their Facebook page on Thursday, February 5 in which they explained why it took them so long to follow up their successful 2012 set "Some Nights".
"Fun was founded by the 3 of us at a time when we were coming out of our own bands," they wrote. "One thing that has always been so special about fun is that we exist as 3 individuals in music who come together to do something collaborative. We make fun records when we are super inspired to do so."
Currently, Ruess is working on his solo album. Dost, meanwhile, is scoring films and Antonoff is super busy with his other band Bleachers. "The 3 of us have always followed inspiration wherever it leads us. Sometimes that inspiration leads to fun music, sometimes it leads to musical endeavors outside of fun," they continued.
Of a follow-up to "Some Nights", they said that they wanted to treat fans with the respect they deserve by "making music when we are fully ready to make it and never giving you guys anything that is less than 100|percent|."
" 'Some Nights' was a successful album and it would have been very easy for us to jump back in the studio and capitalize on our momentum. But making records and touring when it's 'good for business' means nothing to us. We make records and tour when we are inspired to do so," they added. "That is how we can be the most honest to the people who support our music. "
They concluded the statement by telling fans that they'd been very involved and supportive of each others' projects.
