The latest: Fall Out Boy is playing at We the People, a concert before the inauguration for Elected President Joe Biden, when the parents of frontman Pete Wentz met to work for the future president.
Wentz and his bandmates endorse Biden in his successful bid against Donald Trump, with a poignant statement from the band’s Instagram page on October 27.
“This is the most important election of our lives, and it’s not an option to stand on the sidelines,” the group said. “We endorse Joe Biden. So please, go vote. Life depends on it. ‘
Pete opened up about his commitment to the incoming AP commander-in-chief amid the 2008 election when Biden was former President Barack Obama’s running mate.
“I would not be standing here in reality at all because my parents met Biden,” he told the AP in 2008. ‘They met over the campaign, and they especially love Joe. He came to their wedding. If it were not for Joe Biden, I would not exist as a human being. ‘
Throwback: After Biden beat Trump in November, Wentz fired a setback of himself as a child being held by Biden next to his mother, Dale Lewis Wentz.

At the time, Wentz also went to Tumblr to meet Biden with his father Pete Wentz Sr.
The rocker wrote: ‘So I think it’s a big day for everyone – somehow, no matter what you think. I do not really want to impose my view on anyone. I’m just a guy in a group who doesn ‘t play that much, much less have a degree in anything. ‘
According to The Washington Post, he said: ‘I turned to my dad (has a few degrees and plays much better, except he’s a hero to me). Bleak enough of that … Here’s what he had to say. ‘
His father wrote: ‘I spent the weekend working on the Obama campaign. Mom and I met in Washington when we were both Senator Biden’s legislative assistants when he was in his first term.
‘I worked in his campaign and your mother was in the foreign service. We started as friends and the rest is history. ‘
The January 18 virtual concert, which will conclude in public, will also include performances by James Taylor, Carole King, will.i.am, with Keegan-Michael Key and Debra Messing hosting the proceedings, according to People . Lady Gaga will sing The Star-Spangled Banner for the show.
