Controversy

Touring guitarist Kenny Harris officially departed from the band's touring line-up in September 2018. This occurred two days following the surfacing of sexual misconduct claims made against Harris on Twitter. The band said that Harris’ departure was due to "a personal matter" on their Twitter.[3] Harris was replaced by Mike Naran for the remainder of the tour.

Commercial performance

As of March 27, 2019, the "Pray for the Wicked Tour" has totaled $49 million, excluding the European dates yet to be reported, a remarkable 170 percent increase over the Death of a Bachelor Tour's $18.1 million, which was already a giant leap forward from the act's co-headline tour with Weezer and its headline Vices & Virtues Tour.[4]

Background and development

On March 21, 2018, the band released the latest music video for "Say Amen (Saturday Night)" and a new single "(Fuck A) Silver Lining". With the release came the announcement of a summer tour. Arizona and Hayley Kiyoko were announced as the opening acts.[5]
