Panic At The Disco lose Ross and Walker
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 7 July 2009
Panic At The Disco have announced that two members of the band, guitarist and lyricist Ryan Ross and bassist John Walker, have quit, leaving lead singer Brendan Urie and drummer Spencer Smith to continue on their own.
A statement on the group’s website explains that Ross and Walker plan to “embark on a musical excursion of their own”, with the remaining pair explaining: “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. Over the years, we have remained close and honest with each other, which helped us to realise that our goals were different and that parting ways is truly what is best for each of us. We are all excited for the future, you should be too”.
