When one thinks of a band, one tends to think of a unit with multiple members. While Panic! at the Disco did start off with four members — and two others came and went — the outfit is now just Brendon Urie and is generally considered to be a one-man deal. Urie does not just sing, but he also plays the guitar, keyboards, and percussion, which has allowed him to only use a touring band for the instruments he does not play, such as the saxophone, and for backup vocals. “I had a couple of fans tweet me saying ‘you should just go solo as Brendon At the Disco!’ but I never really considered it,” he told Gigwise in 2016. “It’s basically a solo project now, but the name has always represented something more distant and exciting for me — something that I’m still reaching toward.”
In addition to Urie, the band was founded by Ryan Ross, Brent Wilson, and Spencer Smith in 2004. Jon Walker eventually replaced Smith, and some time later, Walker and Ross left the outfit. According to MTV News, Ross and Urie split when they realized they had different visions for the band, and both men have said there’s no bad blood. After Spencer left in 2015, Urie was the lone dog and free to do as he pleased. Notably, Panic! at the Disco has only become more successful since Urie’s been solo, charting number one albums in 2016 and 2018, per Billboard.
