Panic! At The Disco biography
Famous American musician, Brendon Urie is the owner of Panic! At the Disco. Earlier, it was a band comprising three people. It was formed by three friends from Las Vegas, Spencer Smith, and Ryan Ross. They invited Brent Wilson to join the group. It was Brent who brought Urie to this group. These people were in high school when they formed the band. The first studio album of this group, You Can’t Sweat Out was launched in 2005. The second single of this album, I Write Sins Not Tragedies was well-accepted by music lovers in the USA. This album received the Triple Platinum certification.
Brent Wilson was expelled from this group in 2006 during a world trip. Jon Walker joined the band as a replacement. The second album of this group, Pretty. Odd was released in 2008. They followed it up with a single titled, Nine in the Afternoon. This album was a deviation from the original style of the band. Since Smith and Urie were keen on introducing more changes to the original style of Panic! At the Disco, Ross and Walker decided to leave the band.
Panic! At the Disco became a duo instead of a quartet. In 2009, Urie and Smith launched a new single, titled, New Perspective. It was done for the movie Jennifer's Body. They hired Dallon Weekes (bassist) and Ian Crawford (guitarist) as touring members to perform at live concerts. Weekes became a permanent member of the band in 2010. The third album of Panic! At the Disco, Vices & Virtues was recorded in 2010 and launched in 2011. Crawford left the group after the tour cycle of this album ended after one year.
Smith, Weekes, and Urie worked hard to release the fourth studio album of the band, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! in 2013. Smith departed before the release of this album because of his constant struggle with drug-related problems and health issues. He was officially relieved from the group in 2015. Urie and Weekes hired Kenneth Harris (guitarist) and Dan Pawlovich (drummer) as touring members to perform at live shows.
Again, Weekes took up the role of a touring member, leaving Urie as the single owner of Panic! At the Disco. That is how this band became a solo project. Urie released the first single of this solo project, Hallelujah in 2015. The fifth studio album of this solo band, Death of a Bachelor was launched in 2016. Weekes left the group officially in 2017. As the single owner of Panic! At the Disco, Urie launched a single titled Say Amen (Saturday Night) in 2018. The sixth album, Pray for the Wicked was released in 2018.
