Fall Out Boyโ and Pete Wentz for that matter โ probably wouldn't be around were it not for Joe Biden.
Fans have been freaking out since learning about Wentzโs surprising connection to the future POTUS after it was announced that his band would perform at Biden's โWe the Peopleโ pre-inauguration concert event this Sunday (January 17).
One Twitter user was genuinely confused to see FOB on the performersโ roster, whereas others privy to the lesser-known Wentz-Biden fun fact were enthused to explain. โLate to this but ... Fall Out Boy is playing the Biden inaugural concert?โ the user tweeted, to which a fan replied: โFun fact, Pete Wentzโs parents met while working for Biden on his Senate campaign.โ
Yes, kids, it is true: Without Biden, your favorite band would not exist.
For context, some fans will remember when Wentz shared the revelation on social media after Biden's projected presidential victory this past November. โMy parents met working for Joe Biden in the Senate in the 70s," the 41-year-old wrote at the time with a baby photo of him with his mom and dad.
He added, "To me he is a beacon of empathy, compassion and kindness. The times we live in call for a leader with these specific traits. Proud to call Joe Biden my president.โ
What seemed like considerably old news to some users came as a shock to other Fall Out Boy fans, who have been rejoicing over Bidenโs role in bringing the group โ and Wentz โ into existence.
โSo joe biden is the reason pete wentz exists, thus why fall out boy exists, and now fall out boy is performing at bidenโs inauguration...life has come full circle,โ one user tweeted, as another dubbed the discovery as Bidenโs โsingle greatest contribution to society.โ
