So what is the internet doing about it?
Twitter is apparently tired of Brendon Urie’s shit, and are through with asking him to “speak up.” Users are now resorting to blocking him. His name is now trending on Twitter, and it’s likely that will result in him being blocked by even more accounts. It seems that Viva Las Vengeance is an appropriate name for his new album, as Twitter’s thirst for vengeance against the singer is certainly alive and well. It’s likely that much of the ire stems from how this controversy was left unresolved when the allegations first came out against Urie in 2020. The internet has been waiting a long time for this moment. Revenge is a dish best served cold, after all.

What really happened between Brendon Urie and Ryan Ross?
Brendon Urie and Ryan Ross did not have a big blow-up. But Ross did feel that Urie was taking the band Ross started and moving it in a new direction without Ross’s consent or involvement.
Ryan recently did his first interview in quite some time.
In the interview, he mentioned how he does not often communicate with the other members of Panic! at the Disco. He said that was especially true of Brendon.
It seems that after Ryan left the group to move forward with other projects, he lost contact. There was never a big fight.
However, one could assume he may have some negative feelings.
Some fans have realized this, but Ryan had the band he started taken away from him. They essentially moved on to a different sound.
This change was mostly led by Brendon, so it makes sense why he does not speak to him.
Speculations About Dricus Du Plessis’ Sexuality Calling Him Gay!
Dricus Du Plessis (@Dricusduplessis) is a professional fighter and an outspoken person, but he has never come out as gay. It is still a question regarding his sexuality, as he has never accepted or denied the rumors of people calling him gay. And it doesn’t look like he is soon going to address these claims. It’s not a surprise that Plessis is being called gay, as it has been a normal trend in Hollywood to be rumored regarding their sexuality, and he is not new to it.
The rumors about Dricus Du Plessis being gay started after a clip of him and his coach went viral. In a widely shared video, Dricus du Plessis is seen rising from his stool just before round two of his UFC 290 bout with Robert Whittaker starts. After giving Plessis a quick pat on the chest, the fighter’s coach grabbed his behind as he stood up.

The coach also seemed to give Du Plessis a kiss on the lips. Cameron Saaiman’s coach also gave him a kiss on the lips prior to their battle. The combatants’ and their coach’s affectionate gestures caused rumors regarding their relationship and called him gay, and one of the fans tweeted pictures and a video of the events. UFC middleweight Sean Strickland responded to the video showing Dricus Du Plessis and Saaiman interacting with their coach by mentioning the fan’s post. This created a discussion on the internet.
Since then, his sexuality has been questioned. However, right now, there are no proofs that he has ever dated any male or has never been linked with any male, other than with his coach. Going through his Instagram, we could find nothing suspicious regarding his sexuality. So we cannot jump directly to any conclusion regarding Dricus Du Plessis being gay or not.
Is Brendon Urie hard to work with?
Brendon Urie is not difficult to work with and has collaborated successfully with many other artists. He is, however, driven with a clear vision of what he wants from himself, his band, and those who participate in it.
And sometimes, being driven and clear is seen as being difficult.
After all, between touring members and full-fledged members, Panic! at the Disco has had 9 members come and go in addition to Urie and the 9 current official touring members.
That equals an average lifespan of a Panic! member being only 1.7 years.
So for sure, don’t join the band expecting it to last a lifetime!
Given the fact that Panic! at the Disco is now a solo project, many would assume Brendon is hard to work with. This is because a difficult lead singer would be a cause for band members to leave.
However, the reasons those group members left were due to creative differences. There has been nothing publicly said about anyone having a negative attitude.
To further prove this, Brendon has worked with many other singers. One example is Taylor Swift. She has spoken openly in interviews about how much she enjoyed the experience.
And their song and video for ME! is pretty amazing.
Дебютный диск
Первый диск команды вышел под названием A fewer you can’t sweat out.
Выпуском этого альбома команда во многом обязана другой звезде эмо-рока басисту группы Fall out boy — Питу Уенцу. Он заметил молодых музыкантов и предложил записать их дебютный диск на собственном лейбле. С его стороны это был смелый шаг, поскольку начинающая группа к тому времени еще ни разу не выступала вживую.
Пластинку ждал большой коммерческий успех. Она попала в десятку лучших альбомов США. По числу продаж она является рекордной для группы. Среди тем, которые музыканты затрагивали в текстах своих песен, такие негативные общественные явления, как алкоголизм и наркомания.
Background
Ryan created Panic! at the Disco with high school friend, Spencer Smith, in roughly 2004. The duo later recruited Brent Wilson to take over bass. Panic! was originally a three-piece with Ryan Ross as the lead vocalist, but due to him later becoming too sick to sing, Brent invited his friend, Brendon Urie, to be a guest vocalist. Due to Brendon’s skill, the band made a mutual decision to replace Ryan with Brendon as lead vocalist. Ryan continued playing guitar.
Ryan has been cited to have been responsible for a majority of the material on the band’s first two studio albums, having been the band’s leader, head writer, and usually decider in their creative direction.
Ryan built a close relationship with their second bassist, Jon Walker, and during recording for the band’s third studio album, Ryan and Jon continued to work together on music from their homes while Spencer Smith moved in with Brendon Urie. As the album neared completion, Brendon became frustrated with the band continuing in the direction of Pretty. Odd., and motioned in favor of returning to the pop sound of their debut album. After several disagreements, Ryan met with Spencer over lunch, where the two came to a mutual agreement to «do their own thing for a while».
On July 6, 2009, Ross and Walker announced their departure from the band.
Following their departure, Ross and Walker formed a band titled The Young Veins. They released their debut album, Take a Vacation!, on June 8, 2010.
The Young Veins disbanded indefinitely in December 2010. Through a Tweet, Walker stated: “The Young Veins has been on hiatus and will remain that way for the time being. Thanks for getting the album and coming to the shows.”
The 31-year-old gets candid on his sexuality in a new interview with ‘Paper’ magazine.
Brendon Urie has come out as pansexual.
In a new interview with Paper magazine, the last remaining member of Panic! At The Disco gets candid on his sexuality.
«Yeah, I guess you could qualify me as pansexual because I really don’t care,» the 31-year-old singer, who has been married to Sarah Orzechowski since 2013, reveals. «If a person is great, then a person is great. I guess this is me coming out as pansexual.»
«I’m married to a woman and I’m very much in love with her, but I’m not opposed to a man because to me, I like a person,» he adds. «I just like good people, if your heart’s in the right place. I’m definitely attracted to men. It’s just people that I am attracted to.»
Urie says it was «never weird» for him — being young, in the spotlight and coming to terms with his sexuality — though he thinks he made a few people around him «uncomfortable.»
«When somebody gets uncomfortable about me doing what I used to call ‘stage gay,’ it kind of presses me to want to do it more,» he admits. «For our first headline tour, I would go up to Ryan our guitar player, and like kiss him on the neck or kiss him on the mouth and he would be so mad. I was like, ‘I just want to kiss you bro.’ I would hang out with friends and after five or six beers we’re just kind of like smooching on each other. People just get hammered and fool around.»
«Barsexual. People get offended by that,» he adds. «I’ve said things without thinking about it — not trying to be offensive. I need to apologize for that. I’m of the, ‘It’s not what people say, it’s what they do and who they are.'»
Midway through the interview, Urie reacts to all the fans who credit him for helping them embrace their own sexuality.
«I wrote this song ‘Girls, Girls, Boys’ about my first threesome when I was 15 or 16. That song was about my first threesome, but made it about coming out and accepting who you are as person which I thought, what a way better message,'» he says. «Taking this thing that I wrote about and then changing it to be more inspiring for your own purposes, what a beautiful idea.»
Urie also recalls going to his first gay bar when he was 17, with former Panic! guitarist Ryan Ross.
«I got in underage technically,» he remembers. «We played a show somewhere in Texas. These two girls invited us out and she knew the bouncer so we just got in. I remember just being hit on all night and it was awesome. I was getting drinks all night. These guys would just come up and I was like, ‘I’m flattered but I’m not interested but thank you.’ They were like, ‘We’ll get you interested sweetheart.’ I was just like, ‘This is dope.'»

And guess what? There’s gonna be a new Panic! album: “Viva Las Vengeance” or “Why Won’t This Band Die?”
So Brendon and the gang have decide to pick up their guitars once more and release the unfortunately titled Viva Las Vengeance, and have just released the album’s title track. Like me, the internet must have thought that Brenden Urie was done, finito, cooked after the 2020 scandal, but when he once again raised his eye-liner painted head, the good people of the world wide web screamed and tried to push it back down into the darkness where it belongs. After all, like many rockstars before him, Brenden Urie has been accused of sexually assaulting minors. EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW!!!! Don’t believe me? Check .
Conclusion
Panic! at the Disco has been around for over a decade.
Fans have witnessed many changes in the band. Over time, they evolved from an emo rock band to a group with a polished pop sound.
Now, Panic! at the Disco is a solo project. As the direction of the music changed, some members wanted to seek other musical endeavors.
None of these had the same success as Panic! at the Disco.
Now, Panic! at the Disco has released multiple successful albums. Brendon was even featured on Taylor Swift’s lead single from her 2019 album.
Panic! at the Disco is solidified as a hit machine.

Why did everyone leave Panic! at the Disco?
Ryan and Jon left Panic! at the Disco over creative differences with Brendon Urie. Dallon Weekes left stating that he was “not contributing creatively anymore”. Original bassist Brent Wilson was fired for being irresponsible, and drummer Spencer Smith left due to drug addiction.
There have been 5 official members of Panic! at the Disco who have left the band since its inception in 2004.
Ryan and Jon are 2 of the most beloved former Panic! members. The pair went on to form the band The Young Veins. They released one album in 2010 called Take a Vacation.
The Young Veins then went on hiatus the same year.
Drummer Spencer Smith, who recorded four albums with the group, announced his departure in 2015.
As I mentioned, the reason he left was due to seeking help for his then-drug problem. This was announced on Panic! at the Disco’s official website.
Dallon Weekes was also a part of Panic! at the Disco from 2009 until 2017.
He began as a touring bassist but then became a regular member in mid-2010. Weekes announced his departure in 2017 via his Instagram account again for the vague reason of “not contributing creatively anymore”.
However, Dallon’s wife Breezy also later brought sexual abuse claims against Brendon’s close friend and Panic! security manager Zack Hall.
If her allegations are true, it’s highly likely that the abuse, in conjunction with Urie’s reluctance to stop Hall, was the primary reason Dallon left.
Urie did eventually fire Hall, but not until 2020; almost 3 years AFTER Dallon quit the band.
So who is Brendon Urie, anyway?
If you were a tween in the early ’00s, you knew about Brendon Urie. His band Panic! At The Disco was HUGE during that time. So huge in fact, that they’ve been riding the coat tails of their own early success ever since.
During that time, Brendon Urie’s status as an icon grew tremendously, allowing him to leverage his pop punk career into modern radio play for his tepid pop songs. Remind you of anyone? *Cough* Adam Levine *cough cough*. God, I hate both of these songs so much. Like Urie, Adam Levine has also been accused of sexual misconduct in the form of cheating on his wife.
There really must have been something in the water with regards to these early ’00s bands. Urie himself has been married to a woman named Sarah since 2013, after meeting her at one of his concerts. Brendon himself has stated that he is pansexual, and seems to assault all genders equally. More on that in a minute. His LGBTQ+ identity is also rather ironic, considering that Twitter users have also accused him of saying a string of anti-LGBTQ jokes. According to these accusations, he has reportedly made ableist jokes as well. I guess he’s really just into this “I’m going to be a creep to everyone equally” vibe. To lay irony upon irony, Urie was recently honored with GLSEN’s “Inspiration Award” for his “LGBTQ Youth Advocacy.” He’s really into LGBTQ+ kids. And apparently he just can’t seem to stop himself from showing it. God, this is all so gross.
Электроника
Следующий диск команды Too Wired to live, too dare to die, которая к тому времени фактически стала группой Брендона Ури, был назван критиками «музыкой для вечеринок». Герой настоящей статьи признавался, что написал новые песни под влиянием современного хип-хопа и электронной музыки.
Одним из коллективов, чье творчество вдохновляло музыканта на создание новых произведений, была немецкая группа Kraftwerk. Участники данной команды являются одними из создателей стиля под названием krautrock — немецкий арт-рок, в котором широко используются электронные музыкальные инструменты.
Также источником вдохновения прослужил саундтрек к английскому фильму «Заводной апельсин». Композиция Vegas lights из этого альбома стала официальным гимном хоккейной команды Лас-Вегаса.
Does Ryan Ross regret leaving Panic! at the Disco?
Original Panic! at the Disco guitarist Ryan Ross does not regret leaving the band he helped create as it became obvious that Brendon Urie wanted more control and wanted to take the band in a different direction. He does regret that Urie was unwilling to take a more team-oriented approach to the band.
Ross wrote the majority of the songs on the band’s first 2 albums.
Ryan Ross publicly said that leaving Panic! at the Disco felt like a breakup. After all, the band was more his than Brendon’s on those first 2 albums.
But he also saw the writing on the wall since Urie was the voice of the band and has such a powerful and distinctive voice. This does not mean that he regrets the decision. It shows that Ryan made a difficult decision.
What many people do not realize is that Ryan was the founding member.
Brendon and the others joined later. However, as time went on, the direction of the group shifted. Ryan could have stayed in Panic! at the Disco and enjoyed the upcoming success they were to experience. However, he was passionate about the music he wanted to make.
The problem was that the other members did not have the same vision.
So how did all this nastiness start?
Well, it probably all stemmed from some fucked up thing that happening in Urie’s childhood that—oh, you mean more recently than that? Okay, so it started in 2020 (we didn’t all collectively hallucinate this) when Breezy Weekes, wife of Panic! At The Disco bass player Dallon Weekes, accused the band’s bodyguard Zack Hall of sexual harassment. As news of the controversy spread, fans waited for Urie to speak up and fire Hall. Soon after, Twitter users began to accuse Urie of sexual misconduct. One user @kam02700814 (whose account has since been deleted) allegedly claimed that in 2009 Urie attempted to touch him on the inner thigh. In response, the user ran away. Multiple other people have level similar accusations against Urie from now deleted Twitter accounts. The story is generally the same: “I was a minor, and he tried to touch me.”
Urie didn’t do anything to help his reputation. Fan footage of an unidentified Panic! At The Disco concert shows the then 35 year old Urie telling fans, “if I see you after the show, I’m gonna fuck you. I don’t care if you want it. I more care if you don’t want it. Because then I really want it.” Yikes with a capital “Y in God’s name would you say that”? Apparently it’s because he meant it. I guess it was less of a statement and more of a promise. Again, EW.
Дуэт
После записи второго альбома коллектив покинули бас-гитарист и ударник. Поэтому третий диск группы Panic at the disco был плодом творчества дуэта Брендона Ури и Спенсера Смита (ударные).
Музыкантам понадобилось более двух лет для того, чтобы написать новый материал.
Однако такое положение дел благотворно повлияло на творческое развитие героя настоящей статьи. В то время критики характеризовали его новые песни, как произведения с простой музыкой, но интеллектуальными текстами. Работа в студии над записью нового материала тоже потребовала больше времени, чем обычно. Парни экспериментировали со звуком, пытаясь найти новые творческие решения.
Усилия музыкантов увенчались успехом. Пластинка попала в первую десятку хит-парада журнала Биллборд. В течение одной недели после ее выпуска было продано более 50 000 экземпляров альбома.
A Detail About Dricus Du Plessis’ Recent Post on Instagram!
Recently, Dricus Du Plessis shared a post on Instagram saying he won’t beg for his title shot against Sean Strickland. He knows the UFC is a business and that decisions are made by others, even though he believes he should be the champion. At UFC 290 in July, he (20-2 MMA, 6-0 UFC) defeated Robert Whittaker to maintain his undefeated record in the octagon. He immediately squared up in the cage against Israel Adesanya, the middleweight champion at the time.

However, a fractured foot kept him from making a fast recovery two months later at UFC 293; Sean Strickland was given the championship chance instead. After deposing Adesanya to win the title, Strickland seems unlikely to face Du Plessis again. Before Kamaru Usman unexpectedly took over for Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 294, Dana White referred to the match as a top contender match.
After Chimaev’s victory, White reaffirmed that he would be the next. Usman’s defeat by Chimaev did not impress Du Plessis. Chimaev (13-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) started the fight with a solid 10-8 round, but according to Dricus Du Plessis, he lost his aura of invincibility and isn’t The Boogeyman.
How many former members does Panic! at the Disco have?
Panic! at the Disco has a total of 5 official former members and 4 former touring members. Brendon Urie has been the only member since 2015.
Just as with most bands, there have been a number of changes to the lineup of Panic! at the Disco over the years.
They started with Ryan Ross, Brendon Urie, Brent Wilson, and Spencer Smith. From here, the changes happened one by one.
As with most bands involving live instruments, there are also a number of touring members.
These members do not record music and only perform on the road. They would also not do interviews or other promotional aspects of being in a band.
Despite Panic! at the Disco now being a solo project, there are still 9 touring members.

Номер один
Альбом, выпущенный в 2016 году, получил название Death of a bachelor. Все композиции для этой пластинки написал Брендон Ури (фото музыканта можно увидеть в статье). Большинство инструментальных партий тоже исполнил он. Говоря об этом диске, Брендон Ури признался, что предпочитает менять стиль своей музыки с каждой новой пластинкой. Например, альбом, о котором идет речь, был написан под влиянием музыки таких групп, как Queen и Santana.
Пластинка заняла первое место в американском хит-параде, став самой успешной в истории группы.
В 2017 году Брендон Ури сыграл одну из ролей в мюзикле Kinky boots, автором которого является известная певица и актриса Синди Лаупер.
Последний на сегодняшний день альбом группы Panic at the disco вышел в 2018 году. Он носит название Pray for the wicked.
