Let the speculation begin. Did somebody leave a goddamn door open? Did a “Yoko Ono” happen? Somebody else just miss their favorite punctuation too much? The official word is “creative differences,” but whatever the reasoning, half of the Las Vegas group, Panic at the Disco, is parting ways with the rest of the band. 
The announcement that guitarist, Ryan Ross, and bassist, Jon Walker, would leave the group to pursue their own project came as a big surprise as the band is currently working on a third album and is a part of one the summer’s hottest reunion tours with Blink-182. The tour is expected to still go on.
This is not the first split of members. In 2006, the band let go of bassist, Brent Wilson.
Ross and Walker will work on Hillside Session with Eric Ronick of Black Gold, while Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith will continue as Panic at the Disco.
Perhaps the new PATD might take a bit more of a reggae direction.
