Time to Panic... and this time we're not joking around.
Two members of Panic At the Disco -- Ryan Ross and Jon Walker -- are leaving the band. Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith will continue with the band and all plans for the tour will continue with the new Panic.
The official statement from the band reads: "Ryan Ross and Jon Walker will be leaving Panic At the Disco to embark on a musical excursion of their own. 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 realize 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."
The message continues saying: "Stay posted to the Panic site for updates on Ryan and Jon's new project, as well as a message from Brendon and Spencer who will continue on as Panic At The Disco. All touring and album plans for Panic will continue as previously announced."
What are your thoughts? Tell us!

I think those boys are making a mistake. Panic is such a great band, but I'll look into whatever they chose to do also.

Brendon is my cousin- no joke! Oh! and this is sooooo sad!!!! i

Noooooooo!
No! No!
I love Panic, I have their CD's, a poster of them in my room and a T-shirt of them!
I just wish them the best. :[
What songs are Brendon and Spencer gonna write about now? Frolicing in a garden? I don't think so! Ryan was like the most important guy! And Jon was too! :'(
that's so sad! tehy're such a good band!
that's so sad! j-14 should start a petiton! pleasee j-14? write this as a comment if you agree!
Oh no way! That sucks! :( Good luck to the two of them continuing the band though.
omg! that is terrible! ryan ross? he is a great singer and guitar player! this is awful! i am through with this band forever!
awww that's horrible i loved some of their songs.
ohmygod!!! im going to see no doubt and they're gonna suck with only 2 people! i mean no offense or anything, but if there's only gonna be 2 of them they're, paramore should just replace them!! im going on august 8th:) soo excited!!!
I can't believe... Brendon and Ryan are the dinamic duo... I'm very sad!!
i really can't believe this. Panic! is my all time favorite band, and it just won't be the same anymore
OMG! That's so sad :( Hopefully their new band is good. Maybe they'll be my favorite new artist of 2009, which currently is Down With Webster: http://www.myspace.com/downwithwebster
OMG! no way! that is krazy! i bet they're not gonna sound as good now becuz ryan was the one who wrote most of their songz!!!!
OMG
This is aweful...
It'd be better if Ryan and Brendon were staying together...
Why must this happen?!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Ooooh. What?????? How Gould yhey? Why?
i cant believe ryan and jon split! Panic will never be the same without them! i was gonna go to the August 8th show in san diego cause i live there, but its not gonna be the same!!!
i hope they come back. oh, and jon and ryan are in this new band [i think?] or making music with these people:

PLEASE GET BACK TOGETHER.
but its your decision. but its a big mistake. though i will be looking forward to whatever brendon, spencer, and ryan and jon have in store for us :)
OMG totally unexpected! Well, let's just hope for the best for all of them!
omg!!!!! no way! why? i love them :/
This sux, this was one of my favorite bands...now what =( this makes me sad...

xoxoxo
mrs.chacecrawford
thats a bunch of crud they should of stayed i luv them but oh well
NOOOOO!!!!!!!! they cant do that!!!!!!!!!!!
It's so so so sad. Rumors even have it that Ryan is just going to go solo. Their new album is still coming out in September though...and they're going to continue the tour with Blink-182 which is good. It'll never be the same without Ryan or Jon but I suppose life goes on. Although I'm a HUGE Panic fan, I will except it because I know they did this for the better and would never do this to their fans for no reason.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
no:(
i loved jon and especially ryan .
uch :(this sucks. but im sure the band we'll still be awesome like always :)
ive been following this band for 4 years,and i cant beleive they are leaving.
even though john hasnt been in the band as long as ryan was,i still loved him just as much and i dont want them to leave!!:(
i♥them and their music.
BRENDON URIE BETTER GO SOLO!!! he is amazing and could be very successful!! he is sooooooooooooooooo talented!!
i cried sooo much when i heard this.
BOO HOO!!!!!
I was so mad when I heard this. At least PATD is still gonna make music. And it's good that Brendon didn't want to leave. He's a really good singer :)
OMG PATD is my favorite band in the universe i am obssessed!!!!!!!!! Ryan and Brendon on stage together were like magic they are both sooooo talented!!!!!! But ryan was the genius behind there awsome songs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best of luck to Bden and Ryro!!!! I LUV U GUYS PATD FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so mad that they split, i LOVE their music, and even thou two of them are going to be together, it just will never be the same Panic! At The Disco :'(
