"Sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin," Urie said on Tuesday. "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."

The Panic! at the Disco figurehead added, "Thank you all for your immense support over the years. I've sat here trying to come up with the perfect way to say this and I truly can't put into words how much it has meant to us. Whether you've been here since the beginning or are just finding us, it has been a pleasure to not only share the stage with so many talented people but also share our time with you."

Panic! At the Disco's upcoming tour, which will be the band's final dates, kicks off Feb. 20 in Austria and will wrap March 10 in the U.K. See their upcoming shows on their website.
