Panic! At The Disco will be bringing a nearly 20-year journey to an end after their upcoming UK/EU tour.
The pop-rock band Panic! at the Disco, which was founded in Las Vegas about 20 years ago and gradually evolved into Brendon Urie’s solo project, announced the news in a post on the band’s Instagram page on Tuesday morning that the group will end after its last European tour.
What Brendon Urie said?
Urie says he will soon be a dad.
“Sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin,” Urie wrote, adding, “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.”
He continued: “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.”
The final tour begins in Vienna on Feb. 20 and concludes in Manchester, England on March 10
He wrote “I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Europe and the UK for one last run together,”
How Panic! At The Disco was started
The band was formed in 2004 by Urie and childhood friends guitarist Ryan Ross, drummer Spencer Smith and bassist Brent Wilson while they were still teenagers. Other members have been bassist Jon Walker and multi-instrumentalist Dallon Weekes.
In their early days, they were accused of having ghostwriters and were “hated” by other Las Vegas bands, Urie told the Evening Standard in 2016. “It made me so happy, the fact that everyone was hating on us so hard,” Urie said. “We just thought, ‘Wow, people are really taking notice. Let’s have a ball with it.’”
Even though he carried the band’s flag alone in later years, Urie found other other creative outlets, like dueting with Taylor Swift on “ME!” and made his Broadway stage debut in “Kinky Boots” in 2017. later writing music for the show “SpongeBob SquarePants.”
