Fall Out Boy‘s Joe Trohman will take time away from the band’s touring schedule this year in order to recover from hand surgery.

In a message posted to social media today (July 07), Joe said “After years of managing ongoing issues with my right hand, 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.”

He continues “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.”

FOB have a number of festival dates lined up including Summer Sonic in Japan, I Wanna Be in Brazil and Oceans Calling in the US.

Everybody at Rock Sound wishes Joe a speedy and healthy recovery. You can read the full Instagram post below:
