Fall Out Boy may have a packed touring schedule for the rest of the summer but they'll be doing it without longtime guitarist Joe Trohman.

The "Sugar We're Going Down" rockers recently announced that Trohman would be taking a step back from touring responsibilities while dealing with an ongoing hand injury. In a statement on social media, Trohman explained that he would be undergoing surgery on his hand soon.

"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," Trohman shared on the band's account.

He added that while he won't be on the road for the foreseeable future, the "silver lining" is that he's "on track for a full recovery."

"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," he wrote, adding a thank you to fans for their "love and support."

This isn't the first time that Trohman has had to take a step back from the band. In early 2023, he took a brief hiatus while dealing with personal issues, sharing with fans that his mental health had "rapidly deteriorated over the past several years."

During his time away from the spotlight, Fall Out Boy continued touring with the help of guitarist Ben Young. While Trohman was able to return a few months later, it's unclear who will be taking his place during the upcoming 2025 tour dates.

As of now, Trohman has yet to undergo surgery, but wishing him a speedy recovery.
