Trohman, who formed Fall Out Boy over two decades ago with singer Pete Wentz, noted he will step away as the band releases their new album, “So Much (For) Stardust” in March. It’s their first studio album since 2018.
However, Trohman said he will “one-hundred percent” return to the band after his recovery.
“In the meantime, I must recover which means putting myself and my mental health first,” he said. “Thank you to everyone, including my bandmates and family, for understanding and respecting this difficult, but necessary, decision.”
