Now 23, he’s six years removed from 2005, when he blasted onto the charts with the band’s two million-selling 2005 debut, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. There have been big changes — one the biggest being his move last year from Las Vegas, where he’s lived his entire life, to Santa Monica, California with Panic! drummer Spencer Smith. “Every time I turn onto Santa Monica Boulevard, I sing that Sheryl Crow song in my head,” gushes Urie.
