My Chemical drummer quits
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 5 March 2010
My Chemical Romance have announced that drummer Bob Bryar has quit the band, who are currently recording their fourth album. Actually, the official statement makes it sound more like he was sacked, though they don’t go into details.
Writing on the band’s website, guitarist Frank Iero said: “We wanted this news to come from us and not some bullshit gossip site. As of four weeks ago, My Chemical Romance and Bob Bryar parted ways. This was a painful decision for all of us to make and was not taken lightly. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours”.
On the subject of the new record, he said: “We have been writing some very powerful new songs so this week the four of us entered the studio once again, and what has been ending up on tape each night is some of the most exciting and honest work we have ever created”.
The album had been scheduled for a spring release, but with line-up changes and the band still writing new songs, that’s looking pretty unlikely.
