There Will Be No More Panic! At The Disco...

Panic! At The Disco announced today ( July 7) via their website that guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker have quit the band in order to pursue individual music projects.

"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

Ryan Ross, who is also the main songwriter in the band, is currently working on solo material in Los Angeles.

Frontman Brandon Urie and drummer Spencer Smith will continue on as Panic! at the Disco, and the pair will still play their scheduled dates on the Blink-182 reunion tour (with two replacement members, of course).

Ross and Walker haven’t named their new group, nor have they given any indication what it would sound like. But Urie and Smith will reportedly finish up the already in progress 3rd album. But what will all this new music sound like?
