Panic at the Disco Breaking Up – News today in the music world is that the popular emo rock group Panic at the Disco are splitting.

According to the Panic At The Disco web-site, it is Ryan Ross and Jon Walker that are leaving the group in order to “embark on a musical excursion of their own”.

This could mean that they are going to work as a duo, or it could just mean that they want to work on their own individual projects separate from the band. Ryan Ross is the lead guitarist for Panic At The Disco, while Jon Walker is the bassist of the group.

They leave behind lead singer Brendon and drummer Spencer, who can still use the band name if they want to put out another release as Panic At The Disco. It is unclear how well they can do without their best song-writer though, but by keeping the lead vocalist, anything is possible.

According to their official website, “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.”

Earlier today, they posted a message on their site :

“We just wanted to let you know, that the news of Ryan and Jon leaving the band is unfortunately true. It’s been an amazing journey being in a band with them, but sometimes individual tastes take friends in different directions and you can’t ignore it. They are some of the most talented guys we know, and we’re sure that whatever they do next will be great. That said, Panic At The Disco is alive and very very well. We are working on new songs that we are excited for you to hear. Our dateswith Blink and Fall Out Boy start in a little less than a month, and we wouldn’t miss those for the world. We know everybody has a lot of questions at this point with everything being so out of the blue, most of those should be answered in the coming weeks. We appreciate every one of you, and hope you continue with us on this incredible ride.”

Pay attention we have a surprise in store for you.

The remaining band members, however, will continue to record and tour as planned.

Will the band be the same without Ryan (and Jon)? Better? Worse?Thoughts???
