NEW YORK — First there were four, then they became three and finally just one. Now it's time to say a final farewell to art pop-rock Panic! at the Disco.

Brendon Urie, the only musician left from the original group, announced on the band's Instagram page Tuesday that Panic! at the Disco “will be no more.”

Urie, 35, shared that he and his wife, Sarah, are expecting a baby and that he plans to focus on his family. “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,” he wrote.

The band had 15 songs in the Billboard Hot 100, with two Top 10 hits in “High Hopes” in 2019 and “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” in 2006. They scored two No. 1 albums with “Death of a Bachelor” in 2016 — also earning a Grammy nomination for best rock album — and “Pray For the Wicked” in 2018.

“Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or are just finding us, it has been a pleasure to not only share the stage with so many talented people but also share our time with you,” Urie wrote.

The band was formed in 2004 by Urie and childhood friends guitarist Ryan Ross, drummer Spencer Smith and bassist Brent Wilson while they were still teenagers. Other members have been bassist Jon Walker and multi-instrumentalist Dallon Weekes.

Even as he carried the banner of the band alone in latter years, Urie found other creative outlets, like dueting with Taylor Swift on “ME!” and making his Broadway stage debut in “Kinky Boots" in 2017, later writing music for the show “SpongeBob SquarePants.”

Adult Swim, which airs the adult comedy "Rick and Morty," announced on Tuesday that it will no longer work with series co-creator Justin Roiland. The news comes less than two weeks after he was charged with domestic violence in Orange County.

"Adult Swim has ended its association with Justin Roiland," said a statement posted on social media and the official "Rick and Morty" accounts. "Rick and Morty will continue."

Roiland, who also co-created and stars in Hulu's "Solar Opposites," appeared in court on Jan. 12 for a pretrial hearing related to charges filed in May 2020.

According to the complaint obtained by the Los Angeles Times, Roiland is facing one count of domestic battery with corporal injury and one count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and deceit.

The complaint says the charges are related to an alleged incident that occurred on or about Jan. 19, 2020, involving an unnamed Jane Doe who was dating Roiland at that time. Orange County Superior Court records indicate Roiland pleaded not guilty to both felony counts when he was arraigned in October 2020.

According to these court records, Roiland had been released after posting a $50,000 bond that August.

Roiland's attorney denied the charges, saying in a statement to the L.A. Times on Jan. 12 that his client is "innocent" and they expect "that this matter is on course to be dismissed once the District Attorney's office has completed its methodical review of the evidence."

For six seasons, Roiland voiced the titular characters of "Rick and Morty," mad scientist Rick Sanchez and his grandson Morty Smith. The roles will most likely be recast, as a representative for Adult Swim told the Los Angeles Times Tuesday that "the show will continue without [Roiland's] involvement."

"Rick and Morty" was renewed through Season 10 as part of Adult Swim's 70-episode pickup in 2018. Roiland and Dan Harmon co-created the Emmy Award-winning series, which debuted in 2013.

In Tuesday's announcement, Adult Swim added that "the talented and dedicated crew are hard at work on Season 7."

Actor Jeremey Renner was trying to stop his snow plow from striking his nephew when he was pulled under the vehicle and crushed on New Year’s Day, police said.

The Pistenbully snow groomer started to slide sideways shortly after the “Hawkeye” actor used it to free his nephew’s truck from a snowbank just outside Reno, Nev., according to a redacted Washoe County Sheriff’s Office report obtained by CNN.

When he could not stop the plow, 52-year-old Renner, leapt from the vehicle without engaging the emergency break.

“Once he was off the Pistenbully, he realized it was heading directly toward (his nephew),” the report reads. “He feared the Pistenbully was going to hit (his nephew), so he decided to attempt to stop or divert the Pistenbully.”

Renner was pulled beneath the vehicle and run over amid his heroic efforts, according to the report. He was airlifted to the hospital and treated for more than 30 broken bones.

“Although the Pistenbully had some mechanical issues, it is believed based on our mechanical inspection that the parking brake would keep the Pistenbully from moving forward,” police said.

The report also revealed that the brake indicator light inside the vehicle’s cab was not working and noted that “mechanical issues may have been a factor in this accident.”

Earlier this week, Renner took to Instagram to thank everyone for their love and support.

“I want to thank EVERYONE for their messages and thoughtfulness for my family and I …. Much love and appreciation to you all,” he wrote. “These 30 plus broken bones will mend , grow stronger, just like the love and bond with family and friends deepens . Love and blessings to you all.”
