Panic! At The Disco have spoken to NME.com about Brent Wilson's departure from the band earlier this year. Guitarist Ryan Ross explained: "It was tough, because we all went to high school together. It just got to a point where it didn't seem like he was taking it seriously and was along for the ride. And he started to get into things we weren't happy about. It was a hard decision, but with Jon in the band now, we know it was the right decision."
Replacement bassist Jon Walker, meanwhile, told Popmatters: "This band is everything to these guys, so it's not fair to them if someone in the band can't keep up."
