Panic! At The Disco’s tour manager, Zach Hall, took to Twitter today to share some information about sending Urie & co. presents and letters.
In a series of tweets, Hall shared what he expects from fans, the presents he gets rid of, and answered some questions.
To begin with: Yes, some gifts are thrown away. Why?
“You have to understand he gets hundreds of thousands of gifts & drawings & just crazy things,” Hall explains. “He would literally have to buy a house just to store these things.”
You have to understand he gets hundreds of thousands of gifts & drawings & just crazy things. He CAN’T keep it all. It’s not possible. He would literally have to buy a house just to store these things. So if YOU make something & YOU love it, just send him a picture of it. PLEASE

However, they take pictures of the letters and artwork fans send.
We do.

He also shared that asking Urie to write lyrics can go very well if you’re lucky and the singer sees the note before his tour manager does.
Asking him to write out lyrics is a gamble. If he gets to it before I see it he does sometimes. But if I see it first, I will toss it. It’s the same as multi signatures. It just take too much time and there are a lot of things to try and get to.

And if you ever wondered what the best thing to send the band is, here’s a tip:
A note that says thank you. It’s the best and easiest and doesn’t require him to do anything other than receive your message. It’s THE BEST.

Finally, Hall made a list of do’s and don’ts.Here’s what we learned from his tweets:
- If you want something signed, don’t expect to get it back if you don’t add an address and a return envelope.
- Don’t send multiple things.
- Speaking of things you shouldn’t send: Food is a no.
- Don’t send anything of too much value, as it can get lost.
- Nudity is not a joke.

Panic! At The Disco at the American Music Awards
The American Music Awards announced today Panic! At The Disco will deliver a special tribute to Queen during this year’s show. The band will perform “Bohemian Rhapsody” Oct. 9 from the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia.
“If there is one song that I wish I would have written myself, it’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’” Panic! At The Disco frontman Brendon Urie shares in a statement.
This will be Panic! At The Disco’s first performance at the AMAs. In addition, Panic! are also nominated for favorite artist in alternative rock.
The band originally released a cover of the iconic rock song for the Suicide Squad soundtrack.
“Freddie Mercury’s genius is clear from the very first note to the last,” Urie says. “I’m honored to be able to pay tribute to Queen with my performance.”
“Bohemian Rhapsody” is considered by many to be one of the best rock songs of all time and was written by Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in 1975. A biopic about the singer named after the celebrated song is set to be released Nov. 2.
The film stars Rami Malek as Mercury, alongside Joe Mazzello and Gwilym Lee as as Queen members John Deacon and Brian May. The stars will introduce Panic! At The Disco’s performance from the AMAs at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
This isn’t the first time P!ATD performs the song. Urie & Co. played “Bohemian Rhapsody” at the 2015 APMAs with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra.
Plus, later this year, Panic! At The Disco will be kicking off the second leg of their Pray For The Wicked tour starting in 2019.
