The Flaming Lips is a band that has announced a lot of crazy things; for example, they’d release their new material on a USB drive embedded in a life-size, edible human skull. The most shocking announcement from the verified account yet might be today’s announcement that the band is calling it quits. Really?

Maybe it’s just their craziest stunt yet.
.@TheFlamingLips PR person said with a laugh that he "assumes" the band hasn't broken up. Will confirm soon.

@theflaminglips this is the name of a new song called "We've Broken Up", yes?

Update:
We’d almost say the whole breakup announcement was some sort of publicity stunt, but this isn’t the kind of band to do publicity stunts, right?
