“It pains me to make this decision, especially when we are releasing a new album that fills me with great pride (the sin I’m most proud of). So, the question remains: Will I return to the fold? Absolutely, one-hundred percent. In the meantime, I must recover which means putting myself and my mental health first. Thank you to everyone, including my bandmates and family, for understanding and respecting this difficult, but necessary, decision.”
The band’s 2018’s Mania, So Much (for) Stardust was produced by Neal Avron and is out March 24 via Fueled by Ramen and Elektra. In 2021, the band started on the Hella Mega Tour with Weezer and Green Day. Also Fall Out Boy was forced to cancel two dates when a team member tested positive for COVID-19.
