He is, but he's quasi-retiring to be a dad.

Agreed. Also, why say that a band is breaking up when what's actually happening is that they're (he's) "retiring?"

"Panic! Announces final tour" is both more accurate and more succinct.

I mean fair but "calling it quits" is a totally normal term to use for both a band and a person.

exactly, PATD "died" ages ago and Urie's been soiling their name with his crappy solo albums that are PATD in-name only for way too long, bout time this happened.

Brandon Urie is and has been an amazing singer, but I miss their older stuff like Northern downpour,
