Guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker have decided to quit the group Panic at the Disco.
Ross and Walker want to form their own band as they feel that the group has taken a different direction over the years.
"Over the years, we have remained close and honest with each other, which helped us to realize that our goals were different and that parting ways is truly what is best for each of us. We are all excited for the future, you should be too," Ryan Ross wrote on the group’s website.
The message also said that drummer Spencer Smith, who founded the group with Ross in 2004, and singer Brendon Urie will continue to make music under the group name Panic at the Disco.
They will also honour all of their upcoming commitments, including a show opening for No Doubt on August 8 in San Diego. They will also tour for a few shows with Blink-183 next month.
