Fall Out Boy has been added to the lineup for this year’s iHeartRadio ALTer EGO show, replacing Paramore, who announced via Instagram Stories on Thursday (Jan. 4) that they are dropping out of the show “due to unforeseen circumstances.”

Paramore released their sixth studio album, This Is Why, in February of last year, scoring their highest-charting album in nearly a decade with a No. 2 debut on the Billboard 200. The album was the band’s first since After Laughter was released in May 2017; it debuted and peaked at No. 6. The group’s last album to go higher was its self-titled 2013 release, which debuted at No. 1 on the April 27, 2013-dated list.

The iHeartRadio ALTer EGO show will take place on Saturday (Jan. 13) at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

Bryan Adams Takes Swipe at Donald Trump’s Expansionist Dreams With ’51st State’ Protest Song: ‘You Better Show Some Respect’

The pointed rock tune was released on Wednesday (July 1) to coincide with Canada Day.

Bryan Adams has a very clear message for anyone down South who thinks his home country of Canada is on the market: “We’ll never be the 51st state.” The Ontario-bred rocker released a pointed protest song aimed at an audience of one on Wednesday (July 1), just in time for Canada Day, which this year celebrates the 159th anniversary of Confederation for our neighbors to the North.

“51st State,” was released on YouTube and other social media platforms as a spicy rejoinder to U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated musings about absorbing the sovereign nation into the fold and making it, well, just refer back to the song’s title.
