Back in January, Trohman had announced his decision to take a step back from Fall Out Boy to address his mental health concerns. This came shortly after the band revealed exciting news about their eighth album, “So Much (for) Stardust,” and a new label deal with Fueled by Ramen/Elektra Records.
Trohman shared his gratitude towards Ben Young once again, emphasizing the invaluable role he played in covering for him during his time away. He expressed his enthusiasm about returning to action and eagerly looked forward to reconnecting with their fans during their upcoming tour this summer.
The band’s journey resumes with a North American tour alongside Bring Me the Horizon, beginning in their hometown of Chicago on June 21. Following this, Fall Out Boy will captivate audiences across Japan and Europe with their headlining performances later in the year.
Reflecting on his decision back in January, Trohman invoked the words of Neil Young, who famously sang about burning out versus fading away. However, Trohman acknowledged that burning out is an arduous path to follow. Without delving into specific details, he honestly shared that his mental health had progressively declined over the past few years.
