For the second time in three years, Fall Out Boy guitarist Joe Trohman will be sidelined from the band’s activities for an extended period of time.

In 2023, the guitarist took time away from the band to focus on his mental health before returning that summer. A physical injury has taken its toll on Trohman this time around. In a statement released on the band’s Instagram yesterday, Trohman said:

Hey everyone,

After years of managing ongoing issues with my righthand, 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.

Joe

The band is slated for festival appearances across the globe throughout the summer months, with notable stops in Minneapolis for Minnesota Yacht Club and in Ocean City, Maryland for Oceans Calling.

It is unknown at press time who will be replacing Trohman on guitar.
