Fall Out Boy’s Joe Trohman Steps Away From Touring for Hand Surgery
Rock and roll enthusiasts are reeling after the announcement from Fall Out Boy guitarist Joe Trohman, who will be stepping away from touring with the band for the remainder of 2025. The decision comes on the heels of a scheduled hand surgery to prevent permanent damage.
The news was shared by Trohman via social media platform Monday (July 7), where he provided insight into his reasoning behind the drastic measure. In a heartfelt message, he emphasized that “it’s become clear that I need surgery to avoid permanent damage.”
While this development may be concerning for fans of the iconic band, it’s reassuring to know that Trohman is expected to make a full recovery by 2026.
The timing of this announcement could not have been worse, as Fall Out Boy was set to embark on an extensive world tour later this year. As the band gears up for their packed schedule, which includes upcoming performances at Cowboys Music Festival in Calgary (July 8), Minnesota Yacht Club festival in St. Paul (July 19), Summer Sonic in Japan (Aug. 16-17), and three shows in Brazil later that month, fans will have to hold their breath until the guitarist returns.
Despite this setback, Trohman expressed gratitude towards his dedicated fan base, stating that he is “looking forward to recovering so that I can get back out there with the guys.” He added a heartfelt “thank you for the love and support.”
For now, it remains unclear whether another musician will fill in on guitar duties during Trohman’s absence.
