Hey do not worry, I did the same thing on PSB Online forum. Believe me, if there is any new PSB news that breaks, one or all PSB forums will know about it first.

It would take a sick mind to think of that as an April Fool. This, unfortunately, is true - but at least they are safe and well.

They should write a song about this flight !

"Our disintegrating satellite", a brand new track by the PSB !

I'm glad nothing horrible happened. They certainly shouldn't do a song about this. There's no point.

There would be no point in the boys writing a song about this. But some people here think it would make for a good song idea.

I'd rather they wrote a song about Neil being arrested for not wearing underwear
