Fall Out Boy have shared two singles from the album, Love From The Other Side and Heartbreak Feels So Good.

Guitarist Joe Trohman is taking a hiatus from the group to focus on his mental health. Trohman was noticeably absent from the band's video for Love From The Other Side, with a large furry 'racoon' handling lead guitar duties.

“Without divulging all the details, I must disclose that my mental health has rapidly deteriorated over the past several years,” Trohman says in a statement announcing his time out. “So, to avoid fading away and never returning, I will be taking a break from work which regrettably includes stepping away from Fall Out Boy for a spell.”

“So, the question remains: Will I return to the fold? Absolutely, one-hundred percent,” he insists. “In the meantime, I must recover which means putting myself and my mental health first. Thank you to everyone, including my bandmates and family, for understanding and respecting this difficult, but necessary, decision.”
