Brendon Urie offers new metal song as charity Twitch stream incentive
Brendon Urie is hosting a Twitch stream to raise funds for the Highest Hopes Foundation. The Panic! At The Disco frontman is teaming up with State Farm to support the singer’s human rights advocacy organization.
If a high enough amount of money is donated, Urie will be premiering a brand new metal track live!

Urie previously shared a heavy metal track on the platform, when he went live in August. When one fan brought up how the vocalist had mentioned he wouldn’t be doing any work for the rest of the year, Urie replied:
“Dude, that’s not work. That’s literally me, stoned and drunk in my room, sitting in this chair and just being like ‘oh, let’s just grab a guitar real quick.’”
Those who donate $10 will get a prize raffle entry, and $25 donations earn a gift. Urie will also play Fortnite without a weapon if they reach the $10,000, and at $50,000, he’ll play a drum solo live. After donations reach up to $75,000, Urie will premiere his new metal song. Once $100,00 is reached, the snare drum from Death Of A Bachelor will be added to the raffle.
The stream will include a prize give away including items from Oculus, Beat Saber, Call Of Duty and more.
They will be going live today at 2pm ET, and you can tune in here.
