Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz Helped Deliver His Own Son

Pete Wentz, famous for slapping the bass in Fall Out Boy, recently revealed that he was pulled off the sidelines during his wife Meagan Camper's pregnancy of the couple's son, Saint Lazslo.

In a recent interview on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, Wentz said that he went from being an innocent bystander to an honorary nurse on Aug. 20, Us Magazine points out. "It was crazy. The doctor was like, 'You're going to help, you're going to deliver this baby,'" Wentz said last week. "And I was like, 'Oh my god, I'm not ready.'"

"I put on the scrubs and gloves and stuff and did the delivery," he continued. "After the head came out, I was there, you know, and all I could think was, 'Please do not drop this baby. Newborn babies are super slippery."

Wentz went on to say that he decided on "Saint" for his second son's name (he also has a 5-year-old with ex-wife Ashlee Simpson) because the newborn waited until the end of Fall Out Boy's tour to be born. "I was really sure we were going to have to cancel a show, or that he was going to show up, and he didn't," he said.

Fall Out Boy recently dropped a video for their first single off the band's upcoming sixth album, which the bassist told DIY will be out early next year, titled Centuries. The video pays tribute to their hometown of Chicago, with shots zooming through the Windy City. "When we were growing up, it was like, 'We'll never be U2 because we're from the suburbs of Chicago and nothing happens here,' but the idea now is to inspire that kid –– you can be the person up onstage and it's only the power of your belief that is going to get you there," Wentz told DIY.
