Fall Out Boy frontman shares high school memories, performs for GBS students

With a spotlight aimed center stage, Patrick Stump sits alone, strumming a guitar and belting out songs in that all-too-familiar singing voice as hundreds of eyes are glued on him.

Being on stage is anything but foreign to Stump, who has performed all over the world as the lead singer of the Grammy-award winning band Fall Out Boy. But, the 25-year-old Stump returned to Glenview for a special performance on the one of the first stages he ever made music on—in Glenbrook South High School’s auditorium.

Stump, a Glenview native and 2002 graduate, made a homecoming appearance at GBS Oct. 30, speaking to students and faculty at two assemblies. Stump also performed Oct. 31 at Foodstock, a concert for Glenbrook South and Glenbrook North students in light of their canned food drive, in which students set the new world record for the largest can stack.
