Having stormed the Main Stage at Reading and Leeds Festival this weekend, Panic! At The Disco have unveiled their latest track via Beats 1.
Urie, frontman of the band, told Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz that ‘Death Of A Bachelor’ is his favourte from their yet to be titled forthcoming album.
“Frank Sinatra turns 100 this year. I attach his music to so many memories: Opening presents on Christmas day, my grandparents teaching the rest of the family to swing dance, watching ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’ with my siblings (Sinatra makes a cameo in the form of a cartoon sword singing ‘Witchcraft’). His music has been a major player in the soundtrack of my life. So it’s only right that I return the favor and/or pay it forward,” Urie explains of the track on Facebook.
“I wrote a new album this year and even in the few songs that don’t sound remotely similar to any of his music I still felt his influence in the writing and the need to relate so personally to each song.”
“‘Death Of A Bachelor’ is very important to me. It expresses the bittersweet (but mostly sweet) end of an era. A look back at a part of my life now deceased. An ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’-esque look into a possibly different future. But mostly an appreciation for the present.”
