Pete Wentz & Co. Won't Be In Guinness This Time Around

Well, he gave it his best shot, anyway. Pete Wentz and his band Fall Out Boy had to cancel their plans for a record breaking “around the world in a day tour” because of bad weather.

According to the Daily Dish, Pete (pictured here with Patrick Stump at the Kids Choice Awards on March 29th) “had hoped to embark on the rescheduled trip on Wednesday, and even planned to use a special aircraft that can land in the most adverse weather conditions.”

But in the end it was just too dangerous. The band hoped to be in the Guinness Book of World Records by doing this tour, and while they will try again, Patrick Stump said: “I’m sure Guinness won’t ever return our phone calls again, I’m sure a lot of people are going to laugh at us, but the fun thing is I’ll be laughing with them, because it’s pretty funny that we made it all the way down to Chile. And we got really freaking far. It’s still pretty cool.”
