Incubus Goes Back to College

I Like It I Don't Like It
Incubus lead singer Brandon Boyd and guitarist Mike Einziger have decided to go back to college. The band has taken a yearlong break, and Boyd has decided to enroll at a Los Angeles-area art school, while Einziger is going to Harvard.

“[I'm going] back to school, to prove to Dad that I’m not a fool,” says Boyd to People. “I never really had the time in the past 12 years,” he says. “I actually left the beginnings of art school to go on tour.”

Einziger, on the other hand, wants a challenge. “It will be the first time in my whole life that I’ve ever gone to school because I wanted to go. I’ll appreciate it a lot more than I ever did as a kid.”

Einziger will study music and science. Boyd will focus on painting and sculpture. Although Boyd’s artwork has appeared in Incubus videos and he has published two art books, the singer says he has “a need to humble myself in the presence of other artists who are younger, better and hungrier than I am. I think it will do good things for my ego.”

The music stars, however, both 32, have no desires in partaking in any of the other collegiate activities such as parties. “If I was the old guy trolling for freshman on campus, that would be really weird,” says Boyd. “I’m probably not going to be experiencing too much of that.”
