Wentz’s public exposure and tour

In the wake of the band’s multiplatinum success, the “especially extroverted” Wentz became the most publicly visible member of the band. He confided to the press about his suicide attempt and his nude photos appeared on the Internet in 2006. He gained additional exposure through his clothing line, his Decaydance record label (an imprint of Fueled by Ramen), and eventually a celebrity relationship with pop singer Ashlee Simpson , which made the two tabloid fixtures in the United States. Due to its increased success from the group’s MTV Video Music Award, Fall Out Boy headlined the Black Clouds and Underdogs Tour, a pop-punk event that featured The All-American Rejects , Hawthorne Heights , and From First to Last . The tour also featured The Hush Sound for half of the tour and October Fall for half. The band played to 53 dates in the U.S., Canada, and the UK.
