"But sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin," Brendon continued. The statement further added, " We’ve been trying to keep it to ourselves, though some of you may have heard.

I look forward to this next adventure."  Brendon called the end to the chapter and announced, "That said, I am going to bring this chapter of my life to an end and put my focus and energy on my family, and with that Panic! At The Disco will be no more."
