"The Flaming Lips have denied that they are to split, blaming a &amp;quot;hijacking&amp;quot; of their official Twitter account for an announcement that they would. A pair of tweets from the band&amp;#039;s official account read &amp;quot;We have sad news. We&amp;#039;ve broken up\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;lol just joking guys&amp;quot;, but were later deleted.  A message followed with a picture marking the band&amp;#039;s 30th anniversary and a note adding &amp;quot;that last announcement was a bit premature&amp;quot;. Frontman Wayne Coyne later claimed that the band&amp;#039;s Twitter feed had been &amp;quot;hijacked&amp;quot;. The Flaming Lips twitter has been hijacked!!!! \u00E2\u20AC\u201D Wayne Coyne (@waynecoyne) October 24, 2013 One of the tweets posted and later deleted urged Flaming Lips fans to buy the new track by UK X Factor boyband Union J. &amp;quot;GUYS GO CHECK OUT @unionjworld NEW SINGLE #BeautifulLife ON ITUNES ITS REALLY GOOD!&amp;quot; the short-lived message read.
