Panic! At The Disco have announced that they are splitting up. Or, at least, the name is being retired, the project having been a solo endeavour for frontman Brendon Urie since 2015. Whatever, after some final tour dates “Panic! At The Disco will be no more”.
“Well, it’s been a hell of a journey”, wrote Urie in a statement. “Growing up in Vegas I could’ve never imagined where this life would take me. So many places all over the world, and all the friends we’ve made along the way”.
“But sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin”, he goes on. “We’ve been trying to keep it to ourselves, though some of you may have heard – [my wife] Sarah and I are expecting a baby very soon! The prospect of being a father and getting to watch my wife become a mother is both humbling and exciting. I look forward to this next adventure”.
“That said”, he goes on, “I am going to bring this chapter of my life to an end and put my focus and energy on my family, and with that Panic! At The Disco will be no more”.
