The 'I Gotta Feeling' band will be going away for a while.

Black Eyed Peas are set to take a break later this year so Fergie can start a family with husband Josh Duhamel.

Band member Taboo confirmed rumours that the group had all agreed to take some time out from December.

"The Black Eyed Peas taking a little break is something that we respect and we all agreed upon," the 'I Gotta Feeling' star  told New Times.

"We have to respect Ferg. Ferg is our sister. She definitely wants to have a family, and we're happy for her."

Black Eyed Peas' future has been under the spotlight increasingly over recent months, although will.i.am has stressed that they are still together.

The rapper is currently working on solo material and recently shot a new music video during a trip to South America.
