The stint was never meant to last, but Panic!’s original line-up-Spencer Smith, Brent Wilson, and Ryan Ross-dug Urie’s vocals so much, they made him frontman. It all started in the early aughts when the Utah-born, Nevada-raised youngest of five agreed to fill in as lead guitarist for his classmates’ Blink-182 cover band. But not entirely surprising, given Urie’s track record. The fact that a young mega-fan like Goldthwaite (whose Instagram account, has over 43K followers) could coordinate a colossal grassroots homage to her idol is impressive to say the least. It’s something very special to see that in a celebrity.” “He treats everyone with lots of respect and he is always kind. “I always knew Brendon cared about his fans a lot, and you can tell by the way he hugged me and talked to me that he didn’t think of me as just a ‘fan,’ but he genuinely appreciated me as a real person, and that’s how all his interactions with his fans are,” Goldthwaite says.

Though “Girls/Girls/Boys” was originally written as Urie’s personal ode to early sexual experimentation, fans co-opted it as an equality anthem. It was Urie’s outspoken support of the LGBTQ+ community that first inspired Eva to launch what’s now officially known as The Hearts Project. And when Panic! plays to a sold-out Staple Center on Wednesday night, the hearts are guaranteed to surface. While the DOAB tour concluded last April, the tradition has lived on. It was so beautiful.” Credit: Eva Goldthwaite The first time I saw that, I couldn’t believe that. “You made that tour,” Urie is seen telling one of the organizers, now-16-year-old Eva Goldthwaite, in a video of their first meeting. At the helm of the tribute were two teenage girls.
The grand-scale flash-mob was entirely fan-orchestrated and replicated at each stop of Panic!’s 2017 Death of a Bachelor tour. Collectively, the nearly 20,000-person crowd had formed an electrified rainbow pride flag. By the time Urie belted out the chorus, which includes the refrain, “ Love is not a choice ,” the amphitheater was bathed in the light of cellphones shining through scores of paper hearts. That night, as Urie took to the stage to sing his song, “Girls/Girls/Boys,” pops of color began to illuminate the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA. But the Panic! at the Disco frontman couldn’t help but be taken aback by what he saw on July 1, 2016.
