From their early days of hit songs like “I Write Sins, Not Tragedies” to more recent albums like “Death of a Bachelor,” the band has left an indelible mark on the music scene.
However, fans were recently shocked to hear the news of Panic!’s upcoming disbandment, announced by lead vocalist Brendon Urie via Instagram. This marks the end of an era for the band and its dedicated fanbase.
“Finding the right words to express my feelings has been difficult, but I must convey how much this means to us.”
Get ready for a blast from the past, MySpace-style and plan your next Hot Topic visit as Panic! at the Disco is concluding.
Brendon Urie, lead of the acclaimed emo-pop band, announced via Instagram that after 7 albums, including the latest “Viva Las Vengeance,” the group will be disbanding.
“Well, it’s been a hell of a journey…
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. We’ve been trying to keep it to ourselves, though some of you may have heard.
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, 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.
Thank you all for your immense support over the years. I’ve sat here trying to come up with the perfect way to say this, and I truly can’t put into words how much it has meant to us.
Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or are just finding us, it has been a pleasure to not only share the stage with so many talented people but also share our time with you.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Europe and the UK for one last run together.
I love you. I appreciate you. Thank you for existing.
Brendon”
Brendon expressed gratitude to fans for their “unwavering support” and confirmed the European tour would be Panic!’s final one. “I love and appreciate you. Thank you for being there,” he ended.
The idea of Panic!’s disbandment is somewhat comical, considering since the release of “Death of a Bachelor” in 2016, it has essentially been a solo project for Brendon.
The last album with a full band was “Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!” in 2013.
Panic! at the Disco was formed in 2004 when the founding members were in high school.
The band, consisting of Brendon Urie, Spencer Smith, and Ryan Ross, released their debut album “Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” in 2005, featuring hit songs like “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” and “Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off.” In 2008, after the release of their second album “Pretty. Odd.”
Ross and Jon Walker left the band, leaving Urie, Smith, and Dallon Weekes to continue with “Vices and Virtues” (2011) and “Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!” (2013).
In 2016, Urie released “Death of a Bachelor” as his first solo project for the band. His next album, “Pray for the Wicked” (2018), had the campaign song “High Hopes” for unsuccessful presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg. Panic’s latest studio album is “Viva Las Vengeance,” from 2022.
Regardless, the conclusion of Panic! is significant for both old and new fans. It marks the end of an era! Alexa, play “I Write Sins, Not Tragedies.”
Panic! At The Disco’s impending disbandment marks the end of a musical journey that has captured the hearts of fans for over a decade.
While the end of the band is certainly bittersweet, Brendon Urie’s focus on his family and upcoming fatherhood mark a new and exciting chapter in his life.
Fans will undoubtedly continue to hold on to the memories and musical legacy that Panic! has created.
The music, the tours, and the countless moments of joy they brought will not be forgotten. Thank you, Panic!, for the memories.
