The Reason Panic! At The Disco Is Splitting Up

Author Aimee Thomas

This is a sad day. Panic! At the Disco is spitting up. Living in Las Vegas, I have always been a massive fan of ‘Panic! At The Disco’. Their first album ‘A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out’ was the first CD I ever bought while living in Las Vegas and listened to it on repeat.

Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco released this statement earlier today. (1/24/23)

“Well, it’s been a hell of a journey…

Growing up in Vegas I could’ve never imagined where this life would take me. So many places all over the world, and all the friends we’ve made along the way.

But sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin. We’ve been trying to keep it to ourselves, though some of you may have heard.. Sarah and I are expecting a baby very soon! The prospect of being a father and getting to watch my wife become a mother is both humbling and exciting. I look forward to this next adventure.

That said, I am going to bring this chapter of my life to an end and put my focus and energy on my family, and with that Panic! At The Disco will be no more.

Thank you all for your immense support over the years. I’ve sat here trying to come up with the perfect way to say this and I truly can’t put into words how much it has meant to us. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or are just finding us, it has been a pleasure to not only share the stage with so many talented people but also share our time with you. I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Europe and the UK for one last run together.

I love you. I appreciate you. Thank you for existing.

Brendon”

Bellagio's Conservatory Debuts Lunar New Year Display (PHOTOS)

Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is ready to celebrate the Lunar New Year with an incredible new display!

Open through March 4th, the new display, “Year of the Rabbit” invites guests to “be immersed in a space reflecting peace and tranquility, where Asian culture is celebrated and honored in thoughtful fashion,” according to a news release from MGM Resorts International.

Each bed featured within the “Year of the Rabbit” display welcomes “new beginnings, layered with meaningful creations that convey messages of harmony, good luck, enlightenment and prosperity.” Ed Libby, the designer behind the project, collaborated with the Bellagio’s Horticulture team to create the elaborate display that honors the Black Water Rabbit, which signifies “deep wisdom and a connection to Earth,” according to MGM Resorts International.

“We’ve designed a beautiful space of tranquility and cultural enlightenment where we hope guests will gather to usher in the Year of the Black Water Rabbit and embrace the good fortune it will bring,” said Libby. “We look forward to welcoming visitors from around the world to enjoy the Conservatory as it delivers a symbol of hope and prosperity for the new year.”

While the eloquent description of the Lunar New Year display sounds remarkable, the breakdown of the numbers behind “Year of the Rabbit” truly paints the picture as to how elaborate the Bellagio’s display truly is:
