Katy Perry and her Gym Class Heroes beau Travis McCoy have split after a year of dating, a source close to Perry confirmed to Usmagazine.com Friday.

"It's sad, but they were fighting a lot because they never saw each other and now she is going on tour," the source told Us. "She just needed a clear head. It's been non-stop work for her."

Look back at the biggest splits of 2008.

McCoy posted the lyrics to Main Source's tune "Looking at the Front Door" on his blog about the breakup, which was first reported by Celebuzz.

"We fight every night, now that's not kosher. I reminisce with bliss of when we was closer. And wake up to be greeted by an argument again, You act like you're 10...My friends always tell me how I'm lucky to possess the best looking girl in the whole U.S....it seems like just two years back when we were bonded and not pierced, but now I keep itchin' to jet," he wrote.

In December, Perry -- who gained worldwide fame in 2008 with her hit "I Kissed a Girl" -- told Us they weren't planning a walk down the aisle any time soon.

"Planning a wedding and promoting a record -- those two things don't exist in the same sentence," Perry told Us. "You have to just enjoy each other because people change, you know.

"And either you can change with them and evolve with them and then you start to realize OK, we can do this, this can happen for a long time, or, you change," she continued. "You realize you know that you are turning into a different person. Who knows? You know, he has a busy life too, and life is busy over here."
