Selena Gomez Parts Ways With Her Band to Focus on Acting Career

Posted on February 13, 2012 - 7:05am by Alyssa

Selena Gomez may be in a high profile relationship with Justin Bieber, but over the weekend, she brought another one of her important relationships to an end. Gomez announced via her Facebook page that she is parting ways with her band The Scene.

However, from her posts, the split seems to be incredibly amicable, with Gomez giving her group the freedom to play music wherever they'd like while she spends the next few years focusing on her acting and film career. It all began when Gomez posted a photo with her band and crew members to her Instagram account with the caption, "I can't express enough how grateful I am for this group. They have been with me since day one and I can't believe it's actually over. I love you The Scene, marsh mellow girls, Ashley & Ashlee, Jivanta, Marco, Brian & Brian, mark, Jason, Javier, Timmy! Could NOT have done any of this without you. Currently bawling my eyes out. I'll miss you guys."

She clarified the confusing post with the Facebook message reading, "Just to clear up my last Instagram post, my band and I are going our separate ways for a while. This year is all about films and acting and I want my band to play music wherever with whoever. We will be back, but it will be a good while. I love them and I love you guys :)"

Hmm..we knew that Selena was trying to focus on a more serious acting career -- but it looks like she's going to be putting music on the back burner for even longer than we thought! However, the last few years, Gomez has put most of her attention on a music and TV career, so it seems like the big screen is the next logical step!

Are you sad to see Selena breaking away from music?!
