Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor Joe Trohman has returned to Fall Out Boy after taking a several-month hiatus from the band to focus on his mental health.

The guitarist and founding member announced his return on social media on Monday. “Hey everyone, I’m officially back!,” he wrote. “I want to thank everyone for the love and support while I took some time away to focus on my brain and get healthy for my family, my friends and myself.” He also thanked Ben Young, the band’s longtime guitar tech, who filled in for him during the hiatus.

Trohman announced his mental-health break in January, shortly after the band announced its eighth album, “So Much (for) Stardust,” and a new label deal with Fueled by Ramen/ Elektra Records.

A post shared by @jtrohman “I also want to thank Ben Young for stepping up and filling in on the shows I missed – he is a true gentleman and a scholar,” he added. “I’m stoked to be back in action and I can’t wait to see everyone on tour this summer!” The band is touring North America with Bring Me the Horizon in support and before heading over to Europe for headlining dates there.
