Panic! At The Disco drop touring guitarist just before sell-out Australian tour

Panic! At The Disco confirmed that their touring guitarist Kenny Harris will no be with them on their upcoming Australian tour after sexual misconduct claims emerged on Twitter.

The band stated that Harris “will no longer be performing with us because of a personal matter.”
