“Sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin,” Urie wrote adding that he will soon be a father as he and his wife Sarah are expecting. “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.”

Here’s what to know about the end of the band established in 2004 that  created hit songs including “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” and “Nine in the Afternoon.”

“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,” Urie wrote. “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.”
