Panic! At The Disco frontman Brendon Urie has announced that the band is splitting after 19 years.
The emo-pop group - formed by Urie and a group of childhood friends in 2004 - became a solo act in 2016 as the last of Urie's fellow co-founders left.
The band have released seven studio albums and enjoyed success around the world with songs including 'High Hopes', 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies' and 'Miss Jackson'.
Writing on Instagram, Urie said: "Well, it's been a hell of a journey...
"Growing up in Vegas I could've never imagined where this life would take me. So many places all over the world, and all the friends we've made along the way.
"But sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin. We've been trying to keep it to ourselves, though some of you may have heard.. Sarah and I are expecting a baby very soon! The prospect of being a father and getting to watch my wife become a mother is both humbling and exciting. I look forward to this next adventure.
"That said, I am going to bring this chapter of my life to an end and put my focus and energy on my family, and with that Panic! At The Disco will be no more.
"Thank you all for your immense support over the years. I've sat here trying to come up with the perfect way to say this and I truly can't put into words how much it has meant to us. Whether you've been here since the beginning or are just finding us, it has been a pleasure to not only share the stage with so many talented people but also share our time with you. I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Europe and the UK for one last run together."
Panic's final tour, Viva Las Vengeance Tour, is due to wrap up in Manchester, England on March 10.
