Brendon Urie Recalls Getting Kicked Out of His Parents' House as a Teenager

Brendon Urie has been teaming up with State Farm insurance to mentor young aspiring musicians, and during a recent episode of their "Neighbor of Good" series the Panic! At The Disco frontman got personal with his own upbringing, and how his dreams put a strain on his family for a time.

"I had just turned 18, and at that age all that angst, it's so ripe. It's just ripe for art," the 31-year-old explained. "I told my parents that I want to make music — I didn't want to go to college — and if you knew my parents, that is devastating."

Brendon's mother also spoke of the hardships that came with his declaration, and her decision to kick him out of the house as a teenager. "There was some conflict in the beginning, and both of us did things that hurt the other," Nani Urie admitted. "I knew that must've been one of the scariest times in his life."

But the Uries persevered, and Nani realized the well being of her son was more important than her thoughts of what he should do with his life. "I was looking for apartments, crashing at friends' houses, and then I got a care package from my family and a letter," Brendon said. "Essentially, it said 'We love you no matter what, we are so proud of you, we support you in anything you do.'"

After the emotional backstory, the singer visited a Boys and Girls club in Indiana to mentor young artists. Watch the full video below.
