I'm not entirely convinced by the "To Whom This May Concern" Friends Or Enemies post from Ryan Ross and Jon Walker, this morning. WHY would you write your first line in the third person? Plus; does it not seem rather ironical that the news broke on; FRIENDS OR ENEMIES?!! PICTURES; OR I DIDN'T HAPPEN.
However, if you believe that everything you read on the Internet is true... Ryan Ross and Jon Walker have departed from Panic At The Disco. Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith will still be continuing on with Panic At The Disco. They will be touring with Blink-182 and Fall Out Boy... and are still working on their third album. No decisions on replacement band members have been made yet; according to Altpress.com
UPDATES: Panic At The Disco's security/bodyguard; Zack Hall, has confirmed the split on his twitter by tweeting; "its not fake! its real ,and it doesnt suck everybody is doing what makes them happy all of the new music will make you forget everything bad".
Read the official statements/posts from both sides of the band-split below... |
" Ryan Ross and Jon Walker will be leaving Panic at the Disco to embark on a musical excursion of their own. Though the four of us have made music together in the past, we’ve creatively evolved in different directions which has compromised what each of us want to personally achieve. Over the years, we have remained close and honest with each other, which helped us to realize that our goals were different and that parting ways is truly what is best for each of us. We are all excited for the future, you should be too.
-Ryan & Jon
Stay posted to the Panic site for updates on Ryan and Jon’s new project, as well as a message from Brendon and Spencer who will continue on as Panic At The Disco. All touring and album plans for Panic will continue as previously announced. "
" from Brendon and Spencer We just wanted to let you know, that the news of Ryan and Jon leaving the band is unfortunately true. It's been an amazing journey being in a band with them, but sometimes individual tastes take friends in different directions and you can't ignore it. They are some of the most talented guys we know, and we're sure that whatever they do next will be great. That said, Panic At The Disco is alive and very very well. We are working on new songs that we are excited for you to hear. Our dates with Blink and Fall Out Boy start in a little less than a month, and we wouldn't miss those for the world. We know everybody has a lot of questions at this point with everything being so out of the blue, most of those should be answered in the coming weeks. We appreciate every one of you, and hope you continue with us on this incredible ride.
Pay attention we have a surprise in store for you.
-Brendon and Spencer "
