Colin, Scott did a radio interview with a station in Oklahoma today. In the interview he mentioned that they (Scott, Mark and Flip) didn't want to announce a break-up. He said they found out after the fact that with an annoucement there were people making money off of it (not the band). He said that they always spoke about taking a break to venture off to do other projects.
Right now he is in Canada shooting the video for Relearn Love.
