Panic! At The Disco are preparing to release a special deluxe anniversary edition of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.
The I Write Sins Not Tragedies icons marked the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking 2005 debut album during their performance at When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas over the weekend, and have now confirmed the new edition.
On January 23, the group — originally formed by Brendon Urie, Spencer Smith, Ryan Ross and Brent Wilson — will unveil a limited edition box set that features a remastered version of the record.
The package, priced at £164.99 and available for pre-order, includes 11 unreleased demos and a vinyl pressing of 2006’s Live In Denver. The full live set has also been uploaded to YouTube.
On the band’s UK store, they shared a message:
“To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Panic! At The Disco’s seminal debut album, this limited edition box set brings together a comprehensive time capsule celebrating the record's impact.
This release includes the original album remastered for the first time ever, 11 unreleased demos, plus the legendary 2006 Live In Denver performance — never before released on vinyl or CD.
The box set also includes a 12-page zine with never before seen photos from the era, a sticker set, a door hanger, and a paper doll set.”
By 2023, the band had essentially become a solo project for Urie. Their final show was held in Manchester, UK, where the frontman said: “Sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin.
“We’ve been trying to keep it to ourselves, though some of you may have heard… Sarah and I are expecting a baby very soon!
The prospect of being a father and getting to watch my wife become a mother is both humbling and exciting. I look forward to this next adventure.”
Panic! returned to the stage at WWWY over the weekend, performing A Fever You Can't Sweat Out in full alongside fan favorites like This Is Gospel and Nine in the Afternoon.
To end the night, they performed I Write Sins Not Tragedies once again, as Smith reunited with Urie for the emotional closing moment.
Ice Spice has every reason to be proud of what she’s accomplished early in her career. With a string of hit singles, major collaborations, and sold-out tours, she’s become one of the standout names of the 2020s. Still, her journey hasn’t been without its share of challenges and criticism. The New York drill rapper has had to deal with plenty of negativity along the way.
A lot of that noise has unfortunately been centered around her body, which is disappointing to see. For quite some time, fans expressed sadness and even frustration after noticing her weight loss. Before she focused on fitness and dieting, her supporters — and many admirers online — were captivated by her thick thighs and curvy figure.
Many begged her to return to her previous shape, while others unfairly accused her of taking Ozempic. Watching those conversations unfold online was disheartening, as it clearly showed how inconsistent people can be when it comes to body positivity.
Despite all of that, Ice Spice held her head high and stayed committed to her fitness goals. She deserves a lot of respect for standing by her choices and not letting the criticism get to her.
That said, those who preferred her fuller look were thrilled when she appeared to have regained some of her curves around March of this year.
While addressing those who criticized her changing figure, Ice also admitted she’s happy to have her curves back. In a clip shared by No Jumper, the “Baddie Baddie” rapper posted an Instagram video of herself twerking and wrote, “so happy to be thick asf again.”
The comment section was full of supportive reactions. One person wrote, “I think we are all happy to see you again,” while another added, “My girl had to go back to factory settings [praying hands emoji].”
More than anything, it’s great to see that Ice feels confident, comfortable, and healthy in her own body again.
She even revealed in September that she’s been eating more meat to achieve her current look. “Protein is great for you. I love protein. I try to get a lot of protein in, to be honest. That’s the key to being thick. You can’t be thick without mad protein. I swear.”
In other updates, Ice has been busy in the studio. She recently released “Pretty Privilege” as she gears up for her next album. The track sparked plenty of discussion, especially because some listeners believe it includes a subtle dig at her rival Cardi B. The two have rekindled their feud since the release of AM I THE DRAMA? “She might talk sh*t on the ‘Gram, but she won’t talk it to my face,” Ice raps on the single.
