Panic! At The Disco Guitarist Leaves Band After Sexual Misconduct Claims

His departure has been officially confirmed.

September 25, 2018

Panic! At The Disco have announced that touring guitarist Kenny Harris will no longer be performing with the band due to sexual misconduct allegations levelled at him on Twitter.

One fan recently claimed that she had exchanged messages with Harris while she was under the age of consent and shared screenshots to support her claims, and a number of other women seem to have come forward. Harris has yet to respond to the allegations. He first joined the band as touring guitarist in 2013 after Spencer Smith departed due to unspecified health reasons.
