Almost 20 years since they began, pop rock band Panic! At the Disco announced to fans and followers that their journey has come to an end.
The band revealed that the last leg of their ‘Viva Las Vengeance’ tour would be their final time on stage together, and although the news has upset fans many are congratulating frontman Brendon Urie who decided to end the band to focus on his family revealing that he and his wifeSarah Orzechowski are expecting their first child together.
“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,” Urie wrote on Instagram.
“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 beginningor 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 inEurope and the UK for one last run together. I love you. I appreciate you. Thank you for existing.”
Urie and Sarah Orzechowski first started dating in 2009 after they were introduced through mutual friend Hayley Williams from the band Paramore, and the happy couple finally tied the knot in 2013. Since then the couple has grown together with Sarah going on the road and traveling with Brendan for tour, but now the pair are ready to settle down and expand their family. They officially announced they are expecting their first child together on January 24.
A quick history of Panic! At the Disco
Panic! At The Discowas formed in 2004 when guitarist Ryan Ross and drummer Spencer Smith were in high school. After a few years of being a duo that covered Blink-182 songs Ross and Smith decided to get serious and began to write their own songs and recruited vocalist Brendon Urie and bassist Brent Wilson to join their team.
The group went on to release their debut album A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out in 2005, but after being discovered by Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, Jon Walker took Wilson’s place in the band making it what it is today.
Since the band first started in 2004 they have gone on to release seven albums and have won multiple awards for their work.
Panic! at the Disco will disband after their upcoming European tour, founding member Brendon Urie announced January 24. The upcoming breakup, after a 19-year run, will be between Urie and, well, Urie — by 2016, the front man was the only official member of the band left standing.
"And there was really no argument, which is really the best way that could've worked out." Ross said the split was largely due to creative differences between him and Urie. Urie wanted the band to explore a more polished pop sound, while Ross – and, by extension, Walker – was interested in making retro-inspired rock.
The lineup change would only be the first of many more road bumps. In 2008, the revamped band released their second album, “Pretty. Odd.” Following the second album's release, Walker and Ross decided to leave Panic! due to creative differences with Urie and Smith.
The former Panic! frontman, 35, reportedly welcomed his first child with wife Sarah Urie, 35, earlier this week, TMZ reported Friday. Additional details about the baby, including its birthdate, sex and name were not revealed. “We're told everyone is happy and healthy,” TMZ said.

“Sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin.” Urie cited the impending birth of his first child as one reason for breaking up the band, adding: “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!
at the Disco officially disbanded on Jan. 24, according to the band's Instagram. The group endured many changes throughout nearly two decades, including exhausting the entire gamut of pop subgenres from baroque to power pop and losing nearly all of its original members — except for frontman Brendon Urie, of course.
Ross and Walker left the group over “creative differences” a year later. Founding drummer Spencer Smith then left in 2015, leaving Urie as the only remaining original member. Urie led the band for five more records, from 2011's Vices & Virtues through last year's Viva Las Vengeance.

As the band was heading into making their third album, Urie's penchant for pop music left no future for Ross' retro-rock.
To put it simply, Panic! At The Disco was done the second that Brendon Urie fired third bassist Dallon Weekes and became the only member left of the band. From that moment on, Panic! At The Disco became Urie's personal project, no longer a band formulating with the same mission it started with.

Brendon Urie is best known as the lead singer of Panic! at the Disco. He has been married to his wife Sarah since 2013. Brendon reportedly previously had relationships with Audrey Kitching and Fabiola Gatti.
Patrick Martin Stumph (born April 27, 1984), known professionally as Patrick Vaughn Stump, is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer. He is the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the rock band Fall Out Boy, originally from Wilmette, Illinois.
Urie was also criticized on Twitter for past remarks that have been perceived as racist or transphobic, including a joke about rape—which, made during a live performance over 10 years ago, initially received positive reception.
