Sadly justice wasn't actually served as this was an April Fools joke.

In a decision that Fall Out Boy fans around the world are heralding as "better late than never", today the President of The Recording Academy formally apologised to Fall Out Boy and their management team for their 2009 GRAMMY Awards nomination snub.

The apology comes nine years after Fall Out Boy's album 'Folie À Deux' inexplicably missed out on a nomination for the 2009 GRAMMY Awards in the category of Best Rock Album. You can read the statement from the board and president of The Recording Academy in full below:

"The Recording Academy would like to extend a formal apology to Fall Out Boy and their management team, and acknowledge that this apology is coming nine years too late. It is obvious that Fall Out Boy's fourth studio album 'Folie À Deux' is an absolute masterpiece, and was an album entirely deserving of recognition and nomination in the 2009 GRAMMY Awards category Best Rock Album. We take full responsibility for our actions in allowing this to go without comment for nine years, and hope to see Fall Out Boy at a future GRAMMY Awards ceremony."
