Oh noes! Jonas Brothers cancel tour due to 'deep rift' in the band

The Jonas Brothers won't be going on their planned 19-date tour due to infighting within the band, a spokesman for the group confirmed to TODAY on Wednesday.

Spokesman Jesse Derris confirmed a report by People magazine that there was a "deep rift" in the group, and a "big disagreement over their music direction."

According to the magazine, a weekend argument among brothers Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas resulted in the tour's cancellation.

The tour was scheduled to begin Friday. As of Wednesday afternoon, the Jonas Brothers website was still advertising the 19 concerts and still allowed visitors to click through to buy tickets.

I thought it was all about One Direction now. Even Justin Bieber seems past his time. The Jonases are about as forgotten as Hanson. Maybe if they'd done more twerking while they were still in the public eye…

My sister's old 45s of the Defrancos (and others) were casualties of flooding from Hurricane Sandy (it ain't a "super storm" unless it wears a cape).

Wasn't little Tony gracing Tiger Beat covers sometime in between Bobby Sherman or the Cassidy brother who played Keith Partridge and Leif Garrett?
