A new Panic at the Disco song is here. On Monday, April 20, the band released a new track called "Hallelujah" which marks their first since founding drummer Spencer Smith announced his departure from the group earlier this month.
On Panic at the Disco's website, the song is accompanied with a message to fans from frontman Brendon Urie. "Hello my fellow sinners. First off, thank you. Thank you for always being there. For speaking your mind. For following what you believe. For allowing me to grow. For granting me the opportunity to live my dream. Words simply can't express my full appreciation and gratitude for you," he wrote.
He went on saying that he's starting "a new chapter of my life," and for it, he's "filled with immense excitement and a fresh sense of hope."
"I've seen this band through every phase, every change, every hardship. And yet my appreciation and love grows with every breath," he added. "So I lift my arms in praise of your greatness. YOU are great. YOU are beautiful. YOU are talented, and smart, and kind, and loving, and generous, and simply amazing."
Urie, however, didn't say anything about if "Hallelujah" would lead to a new Panic at the Disco album or not. He and his bandmates dropped their latest album "Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die" back in 2013.
