"It was the tweet that made Emblems across the world stare at their phones in horror and/or just completely pass out, ourselves included. Our favorite beach boys, Emblem3, made a pretty big splash over the weekend: Drew Chadwick decided to go solo, leaving the adorable brother duo, Wesley and Keaton Stromberg, to continue the band's legacy by themselves.\n\nThe news was sudden and no one saw it coming. After the guys announced they had something huge to share, fans flocked to their website and saw that the group, which found fame after placing fourth on The X Factor, is splitting only a year and a half after being signed to Simon Cowell's record label. The guys admitted they're sad to see Drew go, but he'll \"always be their brother\" and they're happy for him as he starts his new journey.\n\nIn fact, it didn't take the ex-Emblem long to get some material together and there will even be an announcement about his debut solo album on June 27. \"Excited to share new stuff,\" Drew tweeted. \"It's about heart. I don't care about being famous or rich with money. Just truthful with myself and the world.\"\n\nhttps://twitter.com/KeatonStromberg/statuses/480105770457919490\n\nDon't worry, though\u2014the brothers made it clear they're not going anywhere. Since they were the two who started it all, it's basically just being back to square one. \"We know many of you may be concerned about what this means for Emblem3, but I can assure you this is just the beginning,\" Wesley said in a statement. \"Me and Keaton started this band when we were nine and eleven years old and we will continue making music for our fans. We love you with all our heart.\" To prove they're fine by themselves, they even released a brand-new song (listen below!) featuring just the two of them called \"Love Will Be There,\" and we've gotta admit\u2014we think they have a bright future ahead of them.\n\nAre you shocked Drew decided to leave Emblem3? Think his solo career will work out? We want to hear your thoughts below!\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
