Yeah and it probably explains the lack of strong promotion for it. Wanted to find a way out of everything.
They were his own streams, he said the n-word several times and said some insensitive things about black people as a whole. There was a mega thread on Twitter a while back that I think is gone now (likely due to harrassment), I think googling “Brendon Urie racist” should net you some more info
Definitely didn’t expect this. Sad to hear, but I’m glad I got to see them in 2016. One of the best shows I’ve been to.
He's just retiring now in 2023 with his wife having a baby---no chance in hell he's back at it in 2025 with a newborn/infant/toddler. It's too soon AND he'll have a young kid. 2030 for a 25 year Fever tour would be your better bet IMO.
Unless he’s very rich - I could see him easily cashing in for a 20 year anniversary of Fever. If he invited the other guys in as well for this? They’d be printing money at that point lol
I highly doubt that. You don’t play the album front to back if you don’t have some belief in it. If you’re tossing it off, you throw it out there and play a few songs like Green Day with FOAM.
How often do arena level bands actually do album anniversary tours? I feel like that's just not really a thing. Paramore has never done one, blink did Enema I guess (but that was kinda added in after the fact when the tour wasn't selling great right?), Fall Out Boy has never, Green Day has never (at least to my knowledge, beyond a couple shows). Even bands that get to a certain status of like 5k theater/club venues don't really do that too often. When you consider that the version of Panic! that actually became an arena level band did not really have much to do with the Fever version of the band, and that there has to be some tension between the original members...I mean never say never, and I definitely think Panic! will be back one day (and certainly Brendon Urie in some capacity), but I just don't think it's inevitable they all get back together for a Fever tour, and I can't see Brendon doing it without them cus that would just make people even more mad at him
If he ever does do an anniversary tour for an album, I think Death of a Bachelor is wayyy more likely
I'm not a Fever person, I just think that album will be shown to be way more culturally important for their legacy than any of the last few, even if they brought massive radio hits.
I assume he's well off but can't imagine he's like 80's cocaine rock star rich. Living in LA and that lifestyle gets very expensive and newborns cost a lot (not sure how health insurance works with arena rock stars) so this sounds exactly like it is, the end of Panic for now but I imagine he'll still have some form of a career in music or performance.
This is my thinking. Not sure if he’s still in LA or Vegas but if he has a family to support and there’s millions to be made - I could easily see him cashing in on an anniversary tour. Guess we will see in 2 years!
That’s not necessarily liquid cash. Because I was curious, saw he bought a home in Encino back in 2014. If he bought it straight cash or with a mortgage it’s probably paid off by now but I imagine life expenses will still come (conservatively) to 200k/year so I’m sure we’ll see him back in some form.
I'm not sure but this is probably the house he moved out of because fans kept showing up to harass him and Sarah. That being said, I assume he still lives around LA because his fanmail P.O. Box is there. Edit: He lives nowhere near it apparently.
