Fall Out Boy rocker Joe Trohman has shockingly dropped out of the band's huge tour to undergo major surgery. The guitarist, 40, took to social media to reveal he needs urgent surgery on his right hand and will have to take the rest of the year off. He wrote: '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.

But I can tell you unequivocally that burning out is dreadful,' Trohman began. 'Without divulging all the details, I must disclose that my mental health has rapidly deteriorated over the past several years,' he continued. '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,' Trohman continued. '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),' he said. 'So, the question remains: Will I return to the fold? Absolutely, one-hundred percent,' he clarified. 'In the meantime, I must recover which means putting myself and my mental health first,' he added. In 2023 Trohman took a five-month mental health break from the band - his post announcing his return to the band is pictured 'Thank you to everyone, including my bandmates and family, for understanding and respecting this difficult, but necessary, decision. Smell you sooner than later, Joe Trohman,' he concluded. At the time the group also announced their eighth studio album called So Much (For Stardust). They also performed their first single from the album on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The album was subsequently released on March 24. It was their first on their new label Fueled by Ramen and Elektra, with singer Patrick Stump explaining they went back to their roots with the album. 'Technology has made it really easy to make records much more quickly these days. There's nothing wrong with that, and that spontaneity can be exciting,' Stump said. 'But we wanted to get back to the way we used to work,' he shared. 'We wanted to make a record that was really lovingly crafted and deliberate and patiently guided — like someone cooked you a delicate meal. I'm not a very proud guy, but I'm pretty proud of this record,' he added. 'Our band has been an ongoing art project for twenty years and we know there have been many inception points along that journey.' 'We wanted to create an album that merged those points together — something new, but carved from our foundation. Fueled By Ramen and Elektra seemed like the perfect home for this,' added Pete Wentz. The rock band was initially formed by Wentz and Trohman back in 2001.

Fall Out Boy guitarist Joe Trohman has announced he will step away from the band for the remainder of 2025 as he undergoes surgery on his right hand to avoid permanent damage. In a statement shared on social media Monday (July 7), Trohman explained his decision to take medical leave after years of managing ongoing issues.

Trohman assured fans the band's scheduled tour dates will continue as planned. 'I'm looking forward to recovering so that I can get back out there with the guys. Thanks so much for the love and support.' This marks the second time Trohman has temporarily stepped away from Fall Out Boy in recent years.

Trohman returned to the band in May 2023 after several months of recovery. Fall Out Boy has yet to confirm who will fill in on guitar during Trohman's absence. Their packed schedule includes upcoming performances at Cowboys Music Festival in Calgary (July 8), Minnesota Yacht Club festival in St. Paul (July 19), Summer Sonic in Japan (Aug. 16-17), and three shows in Brazil later that month. Fall Out Boy will wrap up summer festival season at Oceans Calling Festival in Ocean City, Md., on Sept. 28. Trohman, a founding member of the band since its inception in 2001, is expected to make a full recovery and return to touring in 2026.

Jessie J Shares Update on Cancer Battle: ‘Happy Tears Are Real'
Jessie J has shared an uplifting update on her cancer journey, revealing her latest test results show no evidence of cancer spread. The British pop star, who first announced her diagnosis in June, took to Instagram with a heartfelt video of her son that was recorded the night before her surgery. In the caption, she told fans: 'AND. I AM OK. Results = I have NO cancer spread. Happy tears are real. Thank YOU for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy and all the positive energy.' More from Billboard 'Park Waves Is Coming': Parkway Drive Tease New Australian Festival Fall Out Boy's Joe Trohman Steps Away From Touring for Hand Surgery Billy Corgan Reflects on 'Beautiful and Bittersweet' Final Black Sabbath Show The 'Price Tag' singer also reflected on the emotional weight of her journey so far. 'This video is from the night before my surgery. We called it baby boy. You are my biggest ray of light and with you in my life, the darkness will never win,' she wrote, referencing her young son. Jessie underwent her initial surgery on June 23, sharing updates from the hospital as she recovered. While she previously told fans her cancer was 'all gone' post-operation, she later clarified that she was awaiting test results to confirm. 'Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters, but for now it's gratitude time,' she added in her latest post. 'I am changing my name to The LopJess monster.' The Grammy nominee spoke about her diagnosis onstage last month, telling a crowd of 75,000 at Wembley Stadium: 'Today, this show is my last show before I go to beat breast cancer! It's so special to me, you have no idea. I'm so grateful for this life, for you guys, for my career, for my son, my partner, my parents, my band, my crew. We have so much to live for.' Jessie J has been candid about her health struggles in recent years. In 2020, she revealed a diagnosis of Ménière's disease, followed by a miscarriage in 2021, and in 2024 she publicly discussed living with OCD and ADHD.

US rock star drops out of huge band's gigs for the rest of the year to have surgery to stop ‘permanent damage'
A US rock star has dropped out of his band's gigs for the rest of the year to undergo career-saving surgery. Fall Out Boy guitarist and founding member Joe Trohman, 40, revealed he is stepping back from touring in a bid to prevent permanent damage to his hand. 3 3 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).' 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. 3
