Us Weekly. "There was a big disagreement over their music direction." Nick, Kevin, and Joe previously went on hiatus between 2010-2012 to pursue their own interests. Nick went on to musical theater, Kevin and his wife scored a TV show, and Joe dabbled in a solo career. They did, however, reunite for an international tour and had plans for a new album — "had" being the operative word, here. The nails in the proverbial Jonas Brothers coffin are all laid, all that's needed is an official statement to hammer them in. (Us Weekly)
