One week after kicking off their So Much (for) Stardust tour at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, Fall Out Boy have shared an updated version of “We Didn’t Start The Fire.” The Billy Joel original covers world history from 1949 to 1989, and Fall Out Boy’s new take continues the story from 1989 to the present, tackling everything from Balloon Boy and Harry Potter to Trump’s two impeachments, Brexit, George Floyd, and Sandy Hook. Check out a lyric video right here.

Fall Out Boy’s founding guitarist is back in the band. On Monday, Joe Trohman announced his return to the group after taking a step away to focus on his mental health earlier this year.
“Hey everyone, I’m officially back! I want to thank everyone for the love and support while I took some time away to focus on my brain and get healthy for my family, my friends and myself,” Trohman wrote on Instagram, thanking “true gentleman and scholar” Ben Young, who took his place during the shows he missed with the band.

Joe Trohman has announced that he is returning to Fall Out Boy after a five-month leave of absence to focus on his mental health.
“Hey everyone, I’m officially back!” the 38-year-old guitarist wrote in an Instagram post on Monday night. “I want to thank everyone for the love and support while I took some time away to focus on my brain and get healthy for my family, my friends, and myself.”
Trohman first announced that he would be stepping back from his regular duties with Fall Out Boy on January 18th, the same day the legendary emo outfit announced their eighth studio album, So Much (for) Stardust. The record debuted in March, and guitar tech Ben Young has been standing in for Trohman during live appearances since then.

With a trace of terror in his eyes, Patrick Stump is reliving the ultimate punk rock dilemma. If your bandmate looks like he may have just died onstage, do you keep playing? “His head hit this thing hard, and he was out,” the Fall Out Boy singer says, recalling an early club gig during which bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz took a bad fall. “I was like ‘Is he actually dead, or is he gonna wake up and be p***ed off that we’ve stopped the song?’”
Wentz – provably alive and sporting a flowing dyed-blonde mane where he’d once modelled emo’s most swooned-over fin – laughs along, recalling other show misadventures. There was the night that the stage collapsed beneath them at Chicago’s Knights Of Columbus club. The time three people showed up to watch them play a pizza parlour. Or the riots that kicked off at...

Fall Out Boy just released the new album So Much (for) Stardust, and where their last few records dabbled in a more commercial sound, the new LP harkens back to the band’s most rock-heavy days. In a new interview with Variety, Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump looked back on their evolving sound, explaining that their previous shift toward pop — specifically on the 2018 record Mania — was a result of trying to “survive” pop radio.
Guitarist Joe Trohman wrote in his 2022 memoir that he didn’t exactly love the sample-heavy Mania, so much so that he didn’t really participate in its creation. When asked if Trohman’s bristling inspired Fall Out Boy to return to rock on So Much (for) Stardust, Wentz replied,
“I feel like our thoughts on Mania were taken a little out of context. Two records before, we were making albums in a landscape that was not particularly friendly to bands,...

After going extremely viral with the recent release of its outlandishly oversized Big Red Boots — which were worn by the likes of Janelle Monaé and Lil Nas X, among others — Brooklyn-based creative collective Mschf has another stunt shoe ready to roll out soon.
The footwear, dubbed the Bwd Shoe, are a pair of sneakers in which each shoe has two openings to select, allowing the shoe to be worn either forward or backward, depending on what the wearer feels like at any given time. The shoe is predominantly made in white leather, with red suede at the heel, plus a grey stripe and black-speckled midsole.
Founded by Gabriel Whaley, Mschf is also known for creating buzzed-about items such as the Satan Shoes, in partnership with Lil Nas X, said to include a drop of human blood in the sole, and the Jesus Shoes, worn by Drake and containing holy water from the River Jordan.

Fall Out Boy revealed the track listing for their upcoming album Friday, and fans were surprised to see that Ethan Hawke is featured on “So Much (For) Stardust,” which drops March 24.
Hawke appears on a song titled “The Pink Seashell feat. Ethan Hawke,” and as bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz explained in 2020, it’s inspired by a moment in Hawke’s 1994 film, “Reality Bites.”
“There’s this bit in the movie ‘Reality Bites’ where Ethan Hawke’s character talks about seeing his dad after he found out he had cancer. They’d talk about life and he gave Ethan’s character a pink seashell to help explain things,” Wentz told NME.

Hours before Joe Trohman announced his temporary departure from Fall Out Boy, the now-trio appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to deliver their new single “Love From the Other Side.”
The performance kicked off with Patrick Stump on lead guitar and drummer Andy Hurley playing the opening riffs while bassist Pete Wentz slowly made his way toward the stage, leading a pack of emo-haired doppelgängers who ultimately formed the mosh pit.
Fall Out Boy’s performance was taped before — but broadcast after — Trohman revealed in a statement that he would take a hiatus from the band.

Adam Lambert has shared an unenthusiastic response to the suggestion that Theo James should play George Michael in a future biopic.

Sat next to co-star Meghann Fahy, James responded to a question about whether he’d be interested in playing the pop star in a possible movie about his life.
“Oh yeah, I would love that, he’s an icon,” he replied. “He’s a lot of Greek, and I’m a lot of Greek. Put that Greek together, and you get falafel.”
However, when the online publication The Advocate shared the story on social media, frequent Queen collaborator Lambert didn’t hesitate to share his feelings about the possible casting.

The current social distancing climate has artists turning to new ways of staying connected to fans, whether through Twitch or Instagram live, releasing cover songs, or in the case of Fall Out Boy’s Joe Trohman, dropping an entire animated series.
The Fob guitarist has released all 10 episodes of his animated series “Mondo Trasho 3042,” which were created with his friends Wade Randolph and Spencer Berman. Trohman kept the soundtrack in the Fob family, with music written by himself with singer Patrick Stump and bassist Pete Wentz producing. They considered pitching it around, but decided to release it for everyone’s stuck-at-home enjoyment instead.
The animated series follows the fictional band Mondo Trasho, which includes a murderous alien-fish creature and a robot, in the year 3042. The intro of each episode sums up the show’s tone and humor perfectly, “We’re Mondo Trasho. We’re a band. We should break up.

The 66-year-old singer was rushed to hospital after being found unconscious at his Malibu home on Sunday.

The Ghostbusters reboot comes with a rebooted theme song, natch. Fall Out Boy and Missy Elliott teamed up for "Ghostbusters (I'm Not Afraid)," inspired by Ray Parker, Jr.'s original, which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984. Parker's theme was nominated for the Best Original Song at the 57th Annual Academy Awards, but it lost to Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You" from Gene Wilder's movie The Woman in Red. The boys of Fall Out Boy— drummer Andy Hurley, vocalist/guitarist Patrick Stump, guitarist Joe Trohman and bassist Pete Wentz—put their own rock 'n roll spin on the track, while Elliott gives it some hip-hop flavor. Wentz tweeted...

Since they returned after a three-and-a-bit-year hiatus in 2013, Fall Out Boy have been a different group from the cult kings they once were. After a number of years at the top of the pop punk mountain, the quartet felt disillusioned and decided to take a break, although always left the door open for a return at some point. Each band member went through his own personal evolution during the break – frontman Patrick Stump lost over 60 pounds and bassist Pete Wentz “grew up” in his own words, while Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley… had haircuts – which made their return all the more satisfying when it eventually happened.
Fall Out Boy’s two post-hiatus albums – 2013’s Save Rock and Roll and 2015’s American Beauty/American Psycho – definitely mark a shift in style from the albums which made them famous, favouring high production values, heavy beats and repetitive pop lyrics over the previous formula of raw,...

After years of struggling with bipolar disorder, Pete Wentz has found a treatment plan that works for him - one that doesn't include a prescription. "I don't take any medication," he told HuffPost Live earlier this week. "I went to therapy ... but I think the idea that there's a one size fits all [solution] is one of those myths. Everybody figures themselves out in a different way." Now with his band, Fall Out Boy, back out on the road, Wentz is surrounded by a strong support system. "We therapize each other," he joked. "There's no shame in talking about that kind of stuff,...

During a Kiis FM interview, Fall Out Boy's lead vocalist and guitarist Patrick Stump announced that he and wife Elisa Yao will welcome their first child together in late October.

Fall Out Boy has been spinning quite the traumatic tale in each of the music videos for their newest album, "Save Rock and Roll." First came parts one, two, and three, as Pete Wentz, Patrick Stump, Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley found themselves captured and tortured at the hands of vicious-yet-beautiful leather-clad vixens ... and Stump even gained a stump when one of his captors chopped off his hand with a cleaver!
The dark story continues in the music video for "Alone Together," part four of "The Youngblood Chronicles," and things aren't looking good for these rockers. Wentz almost succeeds in freeing himself and Stump from their nightmare situation, but these villains came prepared.
Watch the full video below for "Alone Together:"
Turns out there might be some hope for our favorite pop-punk rockers after all: Wentz managed to free the mystery man who was also being kept locked up.

They’ve been working overtime to promote their new album Save Rock and Roll, and Fall Out Boy gave a live performance at the Y100 Miami Performance Theater.
Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Joe Trohman, and Andy Hurley all showed some love to their (mostly female) fans while fielding questions and playing some live songs.
At one point an audience member brought up some “Happy Birthday” balloons for Pete, who turned just turned 34. Y100’s Mack in the Afternoon also had his own surprise for Wentz.
Check out the photos as well as links to the chats and performances, courtesy of the fine folks at Y100 Miami!
