'Unfortunately, this means I'll have to take the rest of the year off from playing with the band. 'The silver lining is that I'm on track for a full recovery. The band will still be playing all scheduled shows. 'I'm looking forward to recovering so I can get back out there with the guys. Thanks so much for the love and support.' The band is playing in Calgary, Canada tonight and have festival dates in Japan and Brazil over the summer. Fans sent their well wishes, with one writing, "It's okay Joe, we love you and I hope everything goes well, take all the time you need." Another said, "I just fell to my knees in Walmart. Wishing you luck Joe." In 2023, Trohman took several months off the road to focus on his mental health. His guitar tech Ben Young stepped in on that occasion. Speaking at the time, Trohman said, "Neil Young once howled that it's better to burn out than to fade away. But I can tell you unequivocally that burning out is dreadful. Without divulging all the details, I must disclose that my mental health has rapidly deteriorated over the past several years. 'So, to avoid fading away and never returning, I will be taking a break from work which regrettably includes stepping away from Fall Out Boy for a spell. It pains me to make this decision, especially when we are releasing a new album that fills me with great pride (the sin I'm most proud of).' Listen to Fall Out Boy's single Sugar, We're Goin Down The guitarist spoke of his "severe" mental health issues in his 2022 memoir, None of This Rocks. Trohman has been in and out of therapy since the age of 10 and said he often sees things "through dark-tinted lenses a little bit". Fall Out Boy achieved underground success in 2003 after they released their debut album, Take This to Your Grave. They skyrocketed to worldwide fame in 2005 after the release of the album From Under the Cork Tree, with its lead single Sugar We're Goin' Down reaching number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. In 2006, the band was nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards. A year later, their third album, Infinity On High, topped the Billboard 200. The band went on an indefinite hiatus in 2009, citing exhaustion as the key reason. "We were being pushed too hard, we were working too often, and I think we had no grounding. There was no, 'This is where I live, this is my family, this is my house, here's where I get mental health assistance, I take my medication this many times a day,'" Trohman shared in an interview with Kerrang. "None of that stuff was happening, it was all just go go go, different places, different things, if you have to succeed you've gotta do this. "And it got to a point where — I can only speak for myself here — but I thought, 'I think we've succeeded… can we stop for a minute? I need to go to my house.'" They reunited in 2013 with the release of the album Save Rock and Roll.

Fall Out Boy's Biggest Hits Will ‘Never Die'
Fall Out Boy's Believers Never Die returns to four Billboard charts, as a vinyl sale and a major ... More anniversary reinvigorated renewed interest in the greatest hits set. NEW YORK - OCTOBER 11: (U.S. TABS OUT) (L to R) Pete Wentz, Patrick Stump, Joseph Trohman, and Andrew Hurley of Fall Out Boy pose for a photo backstage during MTV's Total Request Live at the MTV Times Square Studios October 11, 2005 in New York City. (Photo by) It's been about a year since Fall Out Boy stopped promoting its most recent album, So Much (for) Stardust. The group dropped a music video for a final single in February 2024 and has remained fairly quiet in terms of new music since. The outfit, which helped bring emo and pop punk music to the forefront more than 20 years ago, wrapped its tour in support of the set in May of last year, and while the rockers may be working on new material, there's been no major announcement just yet. The band is back on the Billboard charts this week — not with a new release, but with a fan-favorite collection. Fall Out Boy reappears on four Billboard rankings in the United States this week, and on each and every one of them, with the same album: Believers Never Die: Greatest Hits. The set moved another 11,500 equivalent album units in the past tracking frame. That figure comes from Luminate, the organization that compiles streaming and sales data for Billboard's tallies. It's enough to send the collection back to the Billboard 200 at No. 117. Believers Never Die also returns to a trio of genre-specific rankings, in addition to the Billboard 200. It sits highest on the Top Alternative Albums chart, landing at No. 12. The set settles five spots lower on the Top Rock Albums tally and comes in at No. 21 on the combined Top Rock & Alternative Albums list. Understandably, Believers Never Die performs best on rankings focused on individual styles, where the competition isn't quite as fierce. The collection has previously peaked at No. 8 on the Top Alternative Albums list and No. 10 on the other two, where it currently resides. On the Billboard 200, however, the hits-packed release has never reached the same heights. Instead, it topped out at No. 77 during the 40 weeks it has spent somewhere on the busy roster. Fans may be revisiting Believers Never Die for several reasons. The group's breakout album, From Under the Cork Tree — which produced several of the singles featured on the compilation — is turning 20 years old in May 2025. The milestone has prompted many casual listeners and longtime supporters to revisit those tracks on streaming platforms, and all those plays may be funneled toward the compilation instead of From Under the Cork Tree, based on some of Billboard's rules. Believers Never Die was also recently discounted on vinyl via Amazon. The price cut likely spurred many fans who had always wanted a copy of the compilation on wax, but had never decided to pull the trigger and buy one, to finally make a purchase.

Ready to Feel Old? Fall Out Boy's 'Sugar, We're Goin Down' Turns 20 Today
Is this more than you bargained for yet? Fall Out Boy fans are celebrating a special anniversary: "Sugar We're Goin' Down," the single that put the suburban Chicago band on the map, was released 20 years ago, on April 4, 2005. The song wouldn't hit the Billboard Hot 100 until that summer, when it became part of a pop-punk revival that took over the mid-2000s music scene. It peaked at No. 8 early that fall. The group then performed the song on the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2005. Fall Out Boy's infectious breakout hit was the lead single from their second album, From Under the Cork Tree. The zany, sometimes nonsensical lyrics, written by Pete Wentz, were paired with an equally quirky music video, telling the story of a guy with antlers crushing on a girl whose dad hates him for it. The successful sophomore effort came two years after the band — which consists of singer and lead guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Wentz, guitarist Joe Trohman and drummer Andrew Hurley — released their debut album, Take This to Your Grave, in May 2003.

In the years since, the band has consistently released fan-favorite, critically acclaimed albums including Infinity on High in 2007 and Folie à Deux in 2008. After a three-year hiatus, the band returned in 2013 with Save Rock and Roll, followed by American Beauty/American Psycho in 2015, Mania in 2018 and most recently So Much (for) Stardust in 2023. Speaking with PEOPLE about his work on the Disney+ and Disney Jr. series Marvel's Spidey and His Amazing Friends last June, Stump discussed how he feels "so ridiculously lucky" that Fall Out Boy "has lasted this long." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Fall Out Boy (@falloutboy) "People still come to see us and I'm doing this show. It's one of those things," he said, noting how "any one of" Fall Out Boy's accomplishments individually "would be a big deal," and the totality of their success "should be a big deal" in terms of any single band's achievements. "I try not to think about it too much as an achievement and more of just like a gift. You know what I mean? I'm so grateful to get to do this," the singer said. "If I could have told myself when I was 12 that any of these things were going to happen, there's no way I could fathom that." Read the original article on People
