Fall Out Boy guitarist Joe Trohman is taking a break from the band for the rest of the year to undergo surgery on his right hand.
The musician announced on social media on Monday that he was stepping away from the band for the rest of 2025 to avoid permanently damaging his hand.
"Hey everyone, after years of managing ongoing issues with my right hand, it's become clear that I need surgery to avoid permanent damage," he wrote in a statement. "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."
Trohman assured fans that his decision would not affect his bandmates Pete Wentz, Patrick Stump and Andy Hurley and their upcoming tour dates.
"I'm looking forward to recovering so that I can get back out there with the guys. Thanks so much for the love and support," he concluded his post.
Trohman, who has been with the band since its inception in 2001, previously took a hiatus for several months in 2023 to focus on his mental health.
The Sugar, We're Going Down rockers have yet to confirm who will temporarily replace Trohman on guitar until his return in 2026.
Their upcoming performances include the Cowboys Music Festival and the Minnesota Yacht Club festival in the U.S. later this month, as well as Summer Sonic in Japan and three shows in Brazil in August.
