Panic! At The Disco announce new album ‘Death Of A Bachelor’

After teasing a special announcement earlier this week, it’s now official: Panic! At The Disco have confirmed details of their new album.

Brendon Urie will release his fifth album under the guise, titled ‘Death of a Bachelor’ on 15th January 2016 via DCD2/Fueled By Ramen.

The announcement follows on from the release of three recent tracks - ‘Hallelujah’, title track ‘Death of a Bachelor’ and ‘Victorious’ - and comes accompanied by a statement from Urie too, as posted on the band’s Facebook page.

“When I was a little kid and I heard a song I liked on tv, I would jump up and run to the piano to try and figure it out by ear. When I was 10 or 11, I built myself a drum kit in the garage made out of empty laundry detergent buckets, old lawn chairs, paint cans, and old trash cans. Around that time, my parents got me my first guitar. A baby acoustic. I jumped between all of these instruments constantly to satisfy the ideas I heard in my head. At this young age, I realized that music would play a huge part in my life. I had no idea.

“‘Death Of A Bachelor’ is in honor of those times I spent alone as a kid. Allowing music to consume me. Playing everything myself just to get the idea right and out of my head. It’s a beginning to a new era. And an homage to how it all began.

“This album is me. Running to the piano. Building a drum kit. Strumming a guitar. Some things never change.”

Panic! will also be returning to the UK to celebrate the release of the album, alongside two shows Stateside.
