• Fall Out Boy Cancels Upcoming Tours Following the Passing of Joe Trohman

In a tragic turn of events, Fall Out Boy has announced the cancellation of all upcoming tour dates following the untimely passing of their founding guitarist, Joe Trohman. The band shared the heartbreaking news with fans earlier today, expressing profound grief over the loss of their longtime friend and bandmate.

“We are devastated to share that our brother, Joe Trohman, has passed away,” the band stated in an official announcement. “Joe was not only a brilliant guitarist and songwriter but also a cherished friend and an integral part of our family. His passion, creativity, and humor touched everyone he met. We ask for privacy as we process this immense loss.”

Trohman, who co-founded Fall Out Boy in 2001 alongside Pete Wentz, Patrick Stump, and Andy Hurley, played a pivotal role in shaping the band’s sound and success. His dynamic guitar work and stage presence contributed significantly to the band’s rise in the early 2000s, with hits like “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” and “Dance, Dance” cementing their place in pop-punk history.

In January 2023, Trohman had temporarily stepped away from the band to focus on his mental health, candidly sharing his struggles with fans. He returned later that year, participating in the band’s subsequent tours and the release of their eighth studio album, So Much (For) Stardust.

The band emphasized that all scheduled performances, including international festival appearances and headlining shows, have been canceled indefinitely. Ticket holders are advised to contact their point of purchase for refund information.

Fans and fellow musicians have taken to social media to express their condolences and share memories of Trohman’s impact on their lives and the music industry. A public memorial is being planned, with details to be announced in the coming weeks.

Joe Trohman’s legacy will endure through his music and the countless lives he touched. He is survived by his family, bandmates, and a global community of fans who mourn his loss.
