He wrote on Instagram, "After years of managing ongoing issues with my right hand, it's become clear that I need surgery to avoid permanent damage.
'Unfortunately, this means I'll have to take the rest of the year off from playing with the band.
'The silver lining is that I'm on track for a full recovery. The band will still be playing all scheduled shows.
'I'm looking forward to recovering so I can get back out there with the guys. Thanks so much for the love and support.'
The band is playing in Calgary, Canada tonight and have festival dates in Japan and Brazil over the summer.
Fans sent their well wishes, with one writing, "It's okay Joe, we love you and I hope everything goes well, take all the time you need."
Another said, "I just fell to my knees in Walmart. Wishing you luck Joe."
In 2023, Trohman took several months off the road to focus on his mental health. His guitar tech Ben Young stepped in on that occasion.
Speaking at the time, Trohman said, "Neil Young once howled that it's better to burn out than to fade away. But I can tell you unequivocally that burning out is dreadful. Without divulging all the details, I must disclose that my mental health has rapidly deteriorated over the past several years.
'So, to avoid fading away and never returning, I will be taking a break from work which regrettably includes stepping away from Fall Out Boy for a spell. It pains me to make this decision, especially when we are releasing a new album that fills me with great pride (the sin I'm most proud of).'
Listen to Fall Out Boy's single Sugar, We're Goin Down
The guitarist spoke of his "severe" mental health issues in his 2022 memoir, None of This Rocks.
Trohman has been in and out of therapy since the age of 10 and said he often sees things "through dark-tinted lenses a little bit".
Fall Out Boy achieved underground success in 2003 after they released their debut album, Take This to Your Grave.
They skyrocketed to worldwide fame in 2005 after the release of the album From Under the Cork Tree, with its lead single Sugar We're Goin' Down reaching number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
In 2006, the band was nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards.
A year later, their third album, Infinity On High, topped the Billboard 200.
The band went on an indefinite hiatus in 2009, citing exhaustion as the key reason.
"We were being pushed too hard, we were working too often, and I think we had no grounding. There was no, 'This is where I live, this is my family, this is my house, here's where I get mental health assistance, I take my medication this many times a day,'" Trohman shared in an interview with Kerrang.
"None of that stuff was happening, it was all just go go go, different places, different things, if you have to succeed you've gotta do this.
"And it got to a point where — I can only speak for myself here — but I thought, 'I think we've succeeded… can we stop for a minute? I need to go to my house.'"
They reunited in 2013 with the release of the album Save Rock and Roll.

Oasis star Liam Gallagher puts bad boy days behind him as he's joined by surprise guest on reunion tour
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LIAM GALLAGHER was regarded as the bad boy of rock 'n' roll in his Nineties heyday. But things have clearly changed as I can reveal that mum Peggy is keeping a beady eye on him during his Oasis Live '25 Tour with brother Noel. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 9 Liam Gallagher has invited mum Peggy to join Oasis on their record-breaking reunion tour Credit: Getty 9 Peggy has will be keeping a beady eye on Liam and Noel at their London gigs Credit: Getty She has been staying with her son during their sold-out gigs — with the pair spending quality time together in between dates. And I have been told that she will be the proudest mum in Britain next week when she heads to London's Wembley Stadium to see her sons Noel and Liam on stage next Saturday. It will be the first time in 16 years that she has seen the brothers perform together. Plus Peggy will also get to watch her other son Paul Gallagher do a DJ set before Noel and Liam take to the stage. A source said: 'Liam is incredibly close to Peggy and has loved spending time with her during the tour. 'She is really looking forward to seeing all three of her boys on stage at Wembley. 'Peggy has always stayed out of their disagreements and just wants the best for her sons.' And it seems that Peggy is a good influence on Liam, who has not posted on X since the tour kicked off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 4. A source added: 'Liam has been keeping his head down and concentrating on the tour. His main priority is staying in the best mindset possible.' Liam Gallagher's heartwarming tribute during Oasis gig revealed - but did you spot it? Biz on Sunday revealed last year that Peggy wasn't fussed that Noel and Liam had reconciled for an Oasis tour. HEAD TO LONDON Of their reunion, Noel said: 'My mum couldn't give a s**t. My mum never gave a s**t — never. You know what Irish mums are like? 'When we told her we were getting back together, she said, 'Sure that will be nice'. That was it.' Noel and Liam are set to perform their fifth show at Manchester's Heaton Park tonight. The Manchester-born brothers will head to London next Friday, where they will perform five nights — with an additional two in the capital in September. London is about to get a Northern makeover.

The rapper, who posted the hot pictures on Instagram, was glowing again this week as she made her red carpet debut with US basketball star Klay Thompson, in New York. The pair looked every inch the happy couple as they arrived holding hands at her Pete & Thomas Foundation fundraiser at Gotham Hall. Gushing about her relationship to Page Six, Megan said: 'This is my first relationship where I have ever been with somebody who's genuinely a nice person, and he makes me happy.' Frown and out 9 Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz looked solemn as they went out in St. Tropez Credit: Splash BROOKLYN BECKHAM and Nicola Peltz looked serious as they headed out in the South of France. The couple, in the midst of a family feud, appeared to have a lot on their minds while they strolled holding hands in Saint-Tropez. Nicola channelled the look of the season in some black capri trousers with a faux-fur stole over her shoulders. And it seems that the pair are enjoying spending time by the sea, with Brooklyn recently describing his wife as 'my sexy little mermaid'. I trust their trip went swimmingly. Low's Avril high ROCK band All Time Low have revealed that they have secret tracks in the locker with Avril Lavigne. Guitarist Alex Gaskarth says that the Canadian singer is a huge fan of their new track Suckerpunch, and messaged the band to say how much she loved it. He told Biz on Sunday: 'It's funny the amount of things that you work on that never see the light of day.' Alex, who will kick off the Everyone's Talking! Tour with the band in October, said: 'I will say that Avril was very complimentary and very sweet about the song.' The singer collaborated with All Time Low in 2023 on the track Fake As Hell. Alex adds: 'Avril is a great friend. It's always nice when you get a text from Avril, like, 'New song slaps'.' Tinie's up for saving clubs 9 Tinie Tempah is joining the fight to keep nightclubs open across the country Credit: Sophia Carey FIFTEEN years since bursting on to the music scene, rapper Tinie Tempah has returned with new track Eat It Up – and he's joining the battle to keep our nightclubs open. With the song having all the qualities of a club banger, Tinie's track will be a big help for venue bosses fighting to fill their dancefloors. The London-born hitmaker has joined forces with the Night Time Industries Association on its The Last Night Out campaign, after it was announced three clubs are closing every week in the UK. In an exclusive chat with Biz on Sunday, Tinie said: 'Without nightclubs, I would not be where I am today. 'If it wasn't for the 10,000 hours I put in at all the amazing music venues all across the country, I would definitely not be talking to you now.' Meanwhile, dad-of-two Tinie said he still loves going out, and his favourite tipple is a tequila and ginger beer. He said: 'Just because you have kids, it doesn't necessarily change who you are as a person. I'm a very proud father. I'm an artist as well.' He added: 'It's a part of what I do, as someone who has a publishing company and is always looking at new talent, I want to be where I can hear the music first.' Of his new track title, Tinie said: 'People say, you know, just lap it up, eat it up, soak it up. 'We come with the best energy, the best sonic. That is basically what Eat It Up is about. 'And also subtly encouraging people to be in a space where, you know, they're just having fun and letting loose.' Sounds like my kind of night. MESSY singer Lola Young seems open to meeting someone, as I can reveal she has signed up to celeb dating app Raya. She has synced her page to the song Brick by Ben Folds Five. A source said: 'She has been working hard on her album, but is also looking to dip her toe in the world of dating.' Mae: Isle succeed AFTER dropping her first EP as an independent artist on Friday, Mae Muller says the five-track My Island is her 'best writing yet'. Speaking to Biz on Sunday, the singer revealed: 'My writing is the best it's ever been, partly because I've learnt to trust my own instincts. "Not having a label has forced me to trust myself, which is a really powerful tool.' Mae – who left Capitol Records UK last year – revealed that the single In My Head (I Hate It Here) was inspired by bands Wolf Alice and The Shins and the lyrics fell out of her like 'word vomit'. She added: 'It's lonely wondering how you're perceived, but what I realised is that you care more than anyone else.' I couldn't agree more, Mae. Planners battle for Dua wedding 9 Wedding planners are lining up after Dua Lipa's engagement to Callum Turner Credit: Instagram/@dualipa SHE finally confirmed her engagement in June after debuting a sparkling rock on her finger. And now Dua Lipa – whose actor boyfriend Callum Turner popped the question last year – is becoming hot property in the world of posh weddings. I have been told that luxury planners already have their eyes on the prize and would love to put together the couple's big day. Elite events organiser Camilla Boniek has started following Dua on Instagram after arranging Millie Bobby Brown's wedding to Jake Bongiovi in a secret ceremony in Tuscany, Italy, last year. Meanwhile, Josiah Carr and Justin McGregor, who recently organised the marriage of top fashion influencer Madeleine White and DJ Andrew Fedyk in Greece, are also following the pop star. And GSP Events – known for working with high profile clients on their marriage celebrations, and who have their services listed in posh mag Tatler's Address Book as the creme de la creme of wedding planners – have also connected with Dua. A source said: 'Dua and Callum's wedding will be THE nuptials of the year. 'Planners from across the globe will be vying for this job.' Speaking to Vogue earlier this year about her ring, Dua said: 'I'm obsessed with it. It's so me. 'It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' Sounds like Dua and Callum are a match made in heaven. A silent night Olly? 9 Olly Murs cheekily hushed a band while on a night out partying in Soho Credit: Nick Suchak IT looks like Olly Murs fancies a quiet one as he hushes a band on a night out in London. The Troublemaker singer – currently on his 15 Years Of Hits Tour – put a finger to his lips with a phone at his ear as he partied in Soho. I have heard whispers that Olly was gathering content for a new music video after debuting single Save Me on his arena trek. A source said: 'He wants to go back to his roots with the music video and show off his cheeky personality. 'Fans have gone wild for Save Me and Olly will no doubt put his all into making the best music video as well.' Olly also played arcade machines on his night out. Good to see he's still in the game . . .

Morning Live's Gethin Jones fuels romance rumours with Helen Skelton as he shares flirty birthday message
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GETHIN Jones shared a sweet birthday message for Helen Skelton amid rumours of a blossoming romance. The Morning Live host, 47, has continued to grow close to the mum-of-three, with sources saying the relationship had turned more than just platonic. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Gethin Jones fueled romance rumours with Helen Skelton with a sweet birthday post Credit: Instagram/Gethincjones 5 A source said the relationship had turned more than just platonic Credit: Getty 5 They have been spending an increasing amount of time together outside of the studio Credit: Instagram Helen and Gethin, 47, have been spending an increasing amount of time together outside of the studio, including trips to a spa at a country club. On Saturday, Gethin paid a special tribute to his co-star on her 42nd birthday. He posted a photo of the former Blue Peter star surrounded by a flock of sheep. Gethin wrote: "Penblwydd Hapus," which translates to Happy Birthday in Welsh. He then joked: "Have the best time hanging out with your mates," referring to the farm animals. He added a kiss at the end of the message, which has further fuelled speculation of a romance. In June, The Sun revealed last month that co-presenters relationship had heated up in recent months. And they were spotted looking loved up as they headed to a country club and spa. An insider said: 'Gethin and Helen were all over each other. They are clearly super comfortable with each other and it wasn't just like two friends hanging out. Strictly legends and Traitors' stars to join Gethin Jones and Helen Skelton on their epic 24-hour roller-skating challenge 'Helen was really laughing and smiling as they spent time together before heading off in the late afternoon.' They both appear on the BBC show on week day mornings, which is based in Manchester. Helen is based in Cornwall with her children Ernie, nine, Louis, eight, and Elsie, three, who she shares with her ex-husband Richie Myler. It was first reported in May how their relationship had become more than a friendship. They were pictured close at the Baftas and last year were spotted at a charity ball set up by Rob Burrow's sisters, with a source adding about the ball: "It was very clear that Helen and Gethin were together as a couple at the event. "They were with close friends of Helen's and their connection was undeniable." Helen's husband Richie Myler left her for Stephanie Thirkill in 2022. Helen announced her split from rugby league ace Richie in April 2022 as she revealed he left the family home. Just four months after Helen gave birth to her third child Elsie, he walked out of their nine-year marriage. The Strictly star faced further heartbreak when her rugby player ex went on to have two children with his new love. Gethin, who has previously dated former Towie star Lucy Mecklenburgh and was engaged to mezzo-soprano singer Katherine Jenkins, recently revealed that he's had little success on the dating scene. Helen and Gethin took part in an epic Comic Relief challenge earlier this year and both gushed about each other after raising £34million for charity. Helen said on social media: "I don't publicly say often enough how much love and respect I have for you my friend because I assume it is well known. "But for the record you're a legend and I am beyond grateful to have you by my side on the rink, the sofa and beyond." 5 The Sun revealed that co-presenters relationship had heated up in recent months Credit: Instagram

A-list star shocks Ibiza club goers by ditching VIP section to get wild with them on the dance floor
One Hollywood A-lister took advantage of being in a foreign country and let loose with the locals, much to their surprise. This Emmy nominated actress, who just celebrated her 53rd birthday, was spotted shaking her groove thing at a nightclub in Ibiza, Spain in a TikTok video shot by a fan. Imagine the surprise of the other customers to discover they were dancing with none other than Modern Family star Sofia Vergara. The America's Got Talent judge was spotted rocking to the beat in a white sundress with a handsome man, who appeared to be businessman Doug Chabbott, dressed in a white shirt and wearing his sunglasses at night. The two seemed to enjoy playing to the camera in the video uploaded on July 7. Although many were surprised the Griselda star had ditched the VIP section of the club, one person who was there commented that she 'created her own VIP section having a wall of bodyguards surround her.' Vergara celebrated some time on the Spanish island as part of a working Mediterranean vacation. On July 8, she shared some sexy photos of herself wearing one of the one piece bathing suits from her collection at Walmart, tagging the retailer and the island in her post. The single star shared video of her own, dancing with the same hunk at what appeared to be a different club on social media. 'When in Ibiza,' she wrote next to the clip. Since then, Vergara and her entourage have traveled to Sardinia, Italy where she celebrated her birthday. And according to social media, she and her crew have just wrapped up a visit to Paris. Among those there were her son Manolo, 33, Chabbott and friends Norvina and eye-brow guru Anastasia of Beverly Hills. Vergara displayed her own version of Parisian chic. She posed for photos on her 'last night in Paris' wearing a silky mauve button down blouse with a hit of a lacy bra peeking out with wide leg jeans. Although she was not there, the actress was honored with a statue of herself in her hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia on her birthday. The bronze sculpture was made by renowned artist Yino Marquez, who spent seven months working on it in his workshop and was assisted by six young students and graduates of a local art school It stands a proud 24' 7' high and weights a whopping 5.5 tons.
