a difficult decision

Trohman announced his temporary departure from the group in January, confirming to his fans that he would be parting ways with Peter Wentz and company because his mental health had “deteriorated rapidly” in recent years.

“Neil Young used to scream that it was better to burn than to go out. But I can tell you unequivocally that getting burned is scary. Without revealing all the details, I must disclose that my mental health has deteriorated rapidly over the past few years,” he wrote.

“So to avoid disappearing and never coming back, I’m taking a break from my work, which unfortunately means stepping away from Fall Out Boy for a while,” he added. “It hurts me to make this decision, especially when we’re releasing a new album that fills me with great pride (the sin I’m most proud of).”

A new album and a world tour

Trohman’s hiatus coincided with the release of Fall Out Boy’s eighth studio album, So much (for) stardust, released in March under the labels Fueled by Ramen and Elektra. This is the band’s first album since Mania2018.
