“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,” said the singer.
Urie thanked the fans who supported them throughout their musical journey.
“Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or are just finding us, it has been a pleasure,” concluded the post.
