Joe Trohman announces he’s “officially back” in Fall Out Boy

Following a brief hiatus, Joe Trohman has announced his return to Fall Out Boy.

Earlier this year the guitarist shared that he was temporarily stepping away from the band due to the fact that his mental health had “rapidly deteriorated over the past several years”.

Happily, now it seems as though the break has been beneficial, and he’s been able to “get healthy for my family, my friends and myself”.

Read Joe’s returning statement below:

“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.

“I also want to thank Ben Young for stepping up and filling in on the shows I missed – he is a true gentleman and a scholar.

“I’m stoked to be back in action and I can’t wait to see everyone on tour this summer!”

Welcome back, Joe!

Fall Out Boy released their 4/5-rated album So Much (For) Stardust in March. They’ll be returning to the UK later this year for a headline tour, with support from PVRIS and nothing,nowhere.
