I don't think it's that they're taking a hiatus, more like the length that has everyone surprised.

I think it was the fact that the rumors spread so fast, then it played out like the game "telephone". It started off as "were just taking a break and we'll be back but we dont know when" to "we're breaking the band up".

i literally cried... when i read this article..... i hope that they come back, stronger than before... until then, Disturbed will still stay strong in my ears and heart and soul
