The end of NLT...

There's been a lot of rumors going around about "the end of NLT". I've been really wanting to clear things up, but that wasn't up to me. There was a lot of things going on that had to be cleared up before this statement could be written. Thank you all for your patience & for your understanding.

What has NLT been up to?
As individuals, a lot. I've been working on my solo project. Kevin is shooting a new show on Fox called "Glee". And I'm sure JJ & V will fill you in when they're ready on what they've been up to.


Is NLT done?
There's no easy way to say it.. but yes. Unfortunately, the group is done. We aren't together anymore.

Being in NLT has been a dream come true for me & I know it was for the other boys too. Thank you, all of you, for helping us to make that dream a reality.

As much as a few people might think the blame lies with one person, it doesn't. It doesn't rest on my shoulders. Just like it doesn't rest on kevin's. Just like it doesn't rest on jj's, or on v's. There's no sense in pointing the finger at anyone, because you have to understand that everyone involved wanted this to work & put their heart and soul into their efforts to make it work. Blaming someone may make you feel better about it.. but the simple fact is.. one singular person didn't cause this. It took a complicated mess of things to break up NLT. The label wasn't prepared to spend more money on the group. There was a legal situation holding us back. Kevin got a great opportunity that would require a lot of his time. At some point you have to sit back & evaluate the big picture. Where do we go from here? Given the situation.. we didn't have many options. Sometimes it's just not meant to be.

Maybe we surrounded ourselves with some people that didn't have our best interests. Maybe it wasn't the right time for a boyband to break. Really though, it was a number of things combined, on the business side, that made it impossible for things to continue the way they were. If there's one thing I want to get across it's that. This breakup wasn't a "fight between the boys" thing. I want everyone to know that it was NOTHING between us boys that caused this. I love those boys to this day & I support them and wish them nothing but success in whatever they do. If you are a true fan of NLT, then i really feel like you would feel the same way, towards all of us.

So there's your explanation. It's been really rough to deal with on a personal level and if you think i'm blowing this whole thing off easy, you couldn't be more wrong. None of this has been easy, it was a hard ending. I wish you guys could've been here, on our side of the telescope to see everything more clearly. But it is what it is.

I know this blog was a trip. To date, it's the most personal blog I've written. As it should be. It took me a lot of revisions trying to say everything i wanted to say, but i leave you with this. There's a reason for everything. Even if sometimes things don't work out the way we'd like. Ultimately I can only ask for your understanding & ask that you guys show all of us the same love & support as individuals that you've shown us as a group over the last few years. I can't do what I do without all of you behind me & wouldn't want to.

As always, I love you all.

peace.
TG.

A little note from Amber
I know that I have mentioned this before, but even though it's been announced that NLT's broken up we will be sticking around AT LEAST until December, when my domain name expires. At that point, we'll take determine, based on how much traffic we're getting and secrets are submitted (or we might just take a poll) as to whether we should renew it for another year. Really it's all up to you guys if you want NLT Secrets to stay.

Whether or not the band itself be broken up there are four guys out there that will always be NLT to us fans. Things are going to happen with them and they're still going to have plenty going on for new secrets to continue being made. I, along with the other girls, really love NLT Secrets, so I hope you guys feel the same and want it to stay.

Travis also posted a blog on NLT's Myspace, but it just has a link it it that leads to his Myspace's blog.
