LMFAO Split: Party Rockers Announce Disbandment

There will be no more party rockin' anthems or wiggle dances coming from dynamic duo LMFAO anytime soon. The big-haired, often half naked "Sexy and I Know It" group have decided to indefinitely call it quits. Member Redfoo broke the news today (Sept. 21) on news.com.au.

"I feel like we've been doing this for so long, five or six years," the 37-year-old son of Motown founder Berry Gordy revealed. The other half of LMFAO, 26-year-old SkyBlu is Redfoo's nephew, but apparently the family ties aren't keeping them from going off in "different directions."

"I think that we naturally just started hanging with two different sets of people, two different crowds, but we're always family," Redfoo revealed. "He'll always be my nephew, I'll always be his uncle."

"We're kind of like saying, well, let's just do what's natural and just kind of explore that, instead of like forcing it all the time," he said of the decision to split. The pair released their debut album, Party Rock, in 2009, but it was their 2011 follow up album, Sorry for Party Rocking that was their real breakout.

But don't be too down, Redfoo says he's got some solo music in store, which won't stray too far from LMFAO's winning formula of dance beats and party-themed lyrics. "All the music that I'm going to make is always going to be LMFAO-ish," he admitted. "I was really passionate about bringing party music to the world, so I will always be making some kind of party music."

As for the other projects Redfoo has in the works, the tennis lover plans to launch his own line of tennis clothing and has already taken up coaching an up-and-coming athlete in the sport.

And with a little effort I easily bring in $35h and sometimes even as much as $85h…heres a good example of what i'm doing, Red97dotcom

How can u call two idiots who do not play musical instruments of any kind, can't carry a tune and can't sing(and I use the term loosely) over someone Else's music a band? I do believe it's called a "gimmick" and "lip syncing".
