Earlier this year, Fall Out Boy began teasing new music, explaining to fans their plans and releasing music. But after delaying their next album release, fans were worried about what was next for the band.
Today, Fall Out Boy announced the “Fall Out Boy Fund,” the way the band plans to give back to the city of Chicago. In a string of tweets, the band detailed their plans and the next phase of their tour.
At each date of the tour, Fall Out Boy plans to honor a community member or “Champion of the Mania Tour,” who has made an impact. Along with a $20,000 donation to Back to the Roots, FOB plans to provide Chicago kids with an education and food.
