WENTZ CONSIDERED QUITTING WHEN NAKED PHOTO HIT THE INTERNET
FALL OUT BOY rocker PETE WENTZ almost quit the group and turned his back on fame after embarrassing photographs of him semi-naked, holding his erect penis were launched into cyberspace.
PETE WENTZ and FALL OUT BOY at the Los Angeles Radio Station KROQ concert 'Almost Acoustic Christmas' 2005 held at the Gibson Amphitheatre, Universal City, Los Angeles, California - 10.12.05
The bassist emailed the candid mobile phone photo to a girlfriend and the naughty shot was intercepted by a third party and put on the internet.
Inviting MTV cameras into his family home in Chicago, Illinois, where Wentz still lives, the rock star attempted to clear up the whole embarrassing incident.
The tattooed rocker says, "In my head, I was like, 'How am I gonna spin this on our website...?' Then I realised it was a lot bigger than our website.
"For the first 24 hours or 48 hours, it was like, 'F**k you, no one call me, no calls returned, I'm not doing this band anymore; this is too much.'"
Wentz admits he would have quit Fall Out Boy had it not been for his bandmates' insistence the shots were no big deal: "They were the first ones who made me feel better about it. They were, like, you know, 'Whatever.'
"I don't really care about that anymore because it's just like, 'Three million people have seen me naked.'"
