Panic at the Disco made a second statement about the departure of two of their members on their MySpace blog. The remaining members, Brendon and Spencer, wrote “We just wanted to let you know, that the news of Ryan and Jon leaving the band is unfortunately true. It’s been an amazing journey being in a band with them, but sometimes individual tastes take friends in different directions and you can’t ignore it. They are some of the most talented guys we know, and we’re sure that whatever they do next will be great. That said, Panic At The Disco is alive and very very well. We are working on new songs that we are excited for you to hear. Our dates with Blink and No Doubt start in a little less than a month, and we wouldn’t miss those for the world. We know everybody has a lot of questions at this point with everything being so out of the blue, most of those should be answered in the coming weeks. We appreciate every one of you, and hope you continue with us on this incredible ride.”

I have some good news and I have some bad news. The good news is that No Doubt has finally gotten a new song out. The bad news is that we all expected so much more. The reunited band recently released a cover of Adam Ant’s ‘Stand and Deliver’. It’s the song that they’re going to perform on the ‘Gossip Girl’ spinoff. It’s also the song which was included in the digital catalog that was emailed to everyone who bought premium tickets to the band’s tour. They sound great but the song isn’t as good as another cover they have, ‘It’s My Life’, which they did for their Greatest Hits collection.

No Doubt is back and they’re making a splash into the scene by going on tour. The band has recently announced on their official website that they will be heading out on the road. Singer Gwen Stefani says that it will be good to reconnect with the fans and play all the good songs. There won’t be much new material though but hitting the road will hopefully inspire the writing process for the new album as the group plans to record while they’re on the road. There are no cities or announced dates yet but I’m sure updates won’t be hard to find.
