The former Fall Out Boy bass player opened up about his deep depression after his beloved band called it quits.
We really liked it when Pete Wentz was sporting a beard but the bass player confessed it was all because he was super depressed about his hit band Fall Out Boy breaking up for good.
Although he has since moved on and formed a new band called Blacks Cards, the bassist told Kerrang! magazine. "It was so strange. I became this guy in a plaid shirt and grew a depressed guy beard. It was hard to go from every waking hour thinking about (the band) to nothing. It was the thing that drove me to get out of bed and do everything... I was bummed out. I moved to New York with my wife for a little bit and went through a whole range of emotions. I was as rock bottom as you can get."
Pete has talked about his depression before and at one point claimed Ashlee Simpson had saved him from his dark thoughts, but this time it was his pal Gabe Saporta who pulled him up. "He pretty much took care of me - that's a real friend right there. After a while I knew I had to get back on my feet," he said.
What do you think of his new band? Do you like him better with or without a beard?
