Panic! at the Disco's Brendon Urie is tipping his hat to "Fly Me to the Moon" crooner Frank Sinatra with Tuesday's release of tribute song "Death of a Bachelor."
The musical tribute, Urie wrote on Instagram, "expresses the bittersweet (but mostly sweet) end of an era. A look back at a part of my life now deceased. An 'It’s A Wonderful Life'-esque look into a possibly different future. But mostly an appreciation for the present."
This year marks 100 years since Sinatra was born.

"I attach his music to so many memories: Opening presents on Christmas day, my grandparents teaching the rest of the family to swing dance, watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit with my siblings (Sinatra makes a cameo in the form of a cartoon sword singing 'Witchcraft')," Urie added. "His music has been a major player in the soundtrack of my life. So it's only right that I return the favor and/or pay it forward.
Sinatra influenced Urie's writing on an upcoming album, which will tentatively be released either as a solo project or under the Panic! at the Disco moniker.
