Las Vegas-born pop-rock outfit Panic! At the Disco will call it quits after an upcoming European tour, frontman Brendon Urie announced January 24.

In a social media statement, Urie, 35, revealed that his wife is pregnant with the couple’s first child. “I am going to bring this chapter of my life to an end and put my focus and energy on my family,” Urie’s statement read, in part.

Urie founded Panic! At the Disco in 2004 with fellow Las Vegans Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith and Brent Wilson. Despite lineup changes through the years that ultimately left Urie as the band’s lone permanent member, PATD went on to release seven albums, beginning with 2005’s A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out and ending with last year’s Viva Las Vengeance.

Two LPs, 2016’s Death of a Bachelor and 2018’s Pray for the Wicked, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart, and the songs “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” (No. 7) and “High Hopes”(No. 4) climbed near the top of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

Panic! At the Disco will end its run with a European tour beginning February 20 in Vienna, Austria, and ending March 10 in Manchester, England. The group played its final Las Vegas show October 21 at T-Mobile Arena.

“It has been a pleasure not only to share the stage with so many talented people but also share our time with you,” Urie said in his statement.
