Singer David Draiman of DISTURBED has announced the group will take a hiatus after their current stint on the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Fest, with no immediate plans to regroup on the horizon and no touring plans set for 2012. The band also admitted it will take a break from live performing to deal with personal issues. Whether said issues are intraband issues or issues that band members must deal with outside of the group remains to be seen.
Draiman told Idaho radio station KQXR that “We don’t know what we’re doing… We’re not gonna do our own thing either. This is gonna be the last tour that the American people get to see us in for a while, if not indefinitely. We have some things going on internally, we have some personal things going on. So I don’t know. It’s hard to tell.”

I swear to the god I don’t believe in that if they break up my life will fall apart. It’s completely understandable that they should take time for their personal lives, but they I don’t know how they could abandon the ten thousand fists that found their voices and became one with life again. They say “Spread the sickness, infect the world’, and they have obviously plagued countless sons and daughters, men and women, children and elders, and for there will never be a cure for this incredible madness: it simply allows people to unify in the belief that social conformity is bull shit. I am, and forever will be, a Disturbed1, but David, Dan, Mike, Fuzz, and John have all built something that if taken away, will surely result in the demise of pure music, heart, soul, and mentality. “Believing in something as oppose to believing nothing…”-you guys are that something that so many people believe in and, as a result, have given people a new aspect on life: it’s meaning, where we are to go, and how far we CAN go. Don’t let such an awe-inspiring talent and force die. It’s like growing an apple tree only to leave the fruit still on the branches. I KNOW you have so much more in you to continue this living legacy We followers are indestructible because of you, and now you have to be, please…
I think they’ll take some time off. maybe get new band members I dunno. Disturbed is not dead, I doubt it will ever be for a while. I think they’ll take some time off and come back with a venageance. in light of this however my band Virus 49 (facebook.com/virus49) has decided to do a tribute to Disturbed’s album; The Sickness, in the future.
they can’t break up i grew up listening to disturbed they inspired me to be who i am i am obsessed with disturbed i have never listened to other bands i love disturbed that much David Draiman, Dan donegan, fuzz, mike wengren, and john Moyer are my hero’s i look up to them, Disturbed is the reason i got into listening to metal, and is why i have always wanted to have a band sound like Disturbed, hell i even wanted to be able to sing like David i don’t want them to break up and because so many of my friends like metal they even listend to disturbed just like me but turned to different styles of metal and now their laughing in my faces because how i was wrong to think that disturbed would keep playing i love disturbed i don’t want the band to break up, my heart is filled with the sickness and it’s awesome if you guys break up my heart with die and i will never be happy because they are my hero’s and I am true to Disturbed that i have always even when i heard their first song, i’ve wanted to be like them and only them please Disturbed don’t quit don’t let your fans down they love you just as much as i love Jessica alba you guys Rock don’t quit we need you.
