In a blog posted on their website, titled 'An Important Message from Fall Out Boy', the band said they originally thought "it would be a fun idea" for the release of new album 'Folie a Deux' to hit shelves on the same of day of their home country's presidential election.
However, the post reads: "But this is not the election to be cute. This is the most important election of our time and, as much as the record is a social commentary and the term 'folie a deux' is relevant to the candidates, we felt as though rather than making a commentary we were only riding the wave of the election. This seemed less and less like what we intended to do and more of a gimmick."
To make it up to Fall Out Boy fans waiting patiently for the new album, the band will play a series of small club shows in America in November.
They continued: "This will not be a tour and will for the most part not be in areas we have played in a while. These shows will take place in extremely small clubs that we played in prior to take this to your grave. Tickets will be very affordable and only available on day of."
