Panic! at the Disco started as a gang of Las Vegas high school friends in 2004: Ryan Ross on guitar and Spencer Smith on drums, plus the classmates they roped in, Brendon Urie on vocals and guitar and Brent Wilson on bass. They cut their first demos before they were out of school, and A Fever You Can't Sweat Out landed in 2005 with song titles longer than most bands' choruses. "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" did the heavy lifting, a vaudeville strut with emo-pop nerves and Urie swooping over it like a ringmaster who'd been at the punch bowl.

Then the band started shrinking. Wilson was fired in the middle of a world tour in 2006 and Jon Walker took over bass. Pretty. Odd. swerved hard away from the debut in 2008, and when Urie and Smith wanted to keep changing things, Ross and Walker walked out to start the Young Veins. The remaining pair made Vices & Virtues on their own with producers John Feldmann and Butch Walker, Dallon Weekes joined and later stepped back, and Smith's exit left Panic! as Urie's solo vehicle from 2015.

Alone at the wheel, Urie leaned all the way into show-tune bombast: Death of a Bachelor in 2016, then Pray for the Wicked and "High Hopes", the biggest chart single the name ever carried. Viva Las Vengeance followed in 2022, and when that tour wrapped in 2023, Urie switched off the lights.
