My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way has professed his delight at being married.

My Chemical Romance man in marital bliss...

The singer got married to his partner Lyn Z in a low-key private ceremony backstage during the Projekt Revolution Tour.

So far, for Gerard, the experience has been absolute bliss. He told Rolling Stone: . “Married life is fuckin’ amazing. Especially being in a relationship that I only thought could be a fictional thing.

“It’s like knowing that there’s always somebody out there, and that’s something I’ve never known.”

In the same interview, Way revealed that the band have committed their landmark show at the Palacio de Los Deportes, Mexico City, to film.

He commented: “To finally see it executed on film is going to be really amazing.”

"This is the biggest honor we've ever had," said Gerard Way, frontman of My Chemical Romance, while opening for Bon Jovi tonight at Newark's Prudential Center.

Though the band's music is as dark and twisted as Bon Jovi's is upbeat and hopeful, the black-clad Belleville native said he is a longtime Bon Jovi fan, and that he sings an "amazing" karaoke version of Bon Jovi's signature song, "Livin' On a Prayer."

The Prudential Center is "beautiful and amazing," he said.

My Chemical Romance took the stage a few minutes after the scheduled starting time of 7:30 p.m., and presented a tight, energetic, glitch-free set, rocking hard on songs like "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" and "Welcome To the Black Parade," and delivering "Teenagers" and "Mama" with…

Singapore - My Chemical Romance is bringing The Black Parade tour to Singapore come this December 11, 2007.

Since they scaled the fame ladder with their 2004 album Three Cheers For Sweet Romance, MCR has taken the world by storm with their gothic and melodramatic musical and lyrical content. Their latest album, The Black Parade, also cemented them as "one of the biggest bands in the world," as touted by Kerrang! magazine.

"The most exciting thing about this tour is that it's the first time you're really seeing the Black Parade as a band. And yet you're never gonna get alienated because you're also gonna get My Chemical Romance," says lead…

The most obvious thing to say about this six-part superhero series is that it was penned by Way, lead singer of Queen-esque goth rockers My Chemical Romance. But the more useful fact is that Way ''way'' loves Scottish comics writer Grant Morrison. Certainly Morrison's surreal, berserk 1989 Doom Patrol overhaul is an influence on this tale — about seven mostly superpower-endowed people mysteriously born at the same moment to apparently non-pregnant women, then adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, monocle fan and inventor of the ''Mobile Umbrella Communicator'' (whatever the hell that is). Issue No. 1 — the fabulously, and accurately, titled ''The Day the Eiffel Tower Went Berserk'' —…

My Chemical Romance - a band whose musical style has been called everything from rock to pop to punk - will play a special benefit show at Maxwell's next week, according to Revolt Media and several other music sites. But the show is already sold out!

The band announced the benefit concert to fans who had signed up for e-mail alerts, and tickets went on sale Monday and will be cost $100 each, with a limit of two per customer. The band announced today that tickets are already sold out.

So what's it a benefit concert for? Revolt Media says:

All proceeds from the concert will be donated to charity, although the group has not yet named which organization it is supporting.

The band is opening for Bon Jovi on Oct. 25 and 26th at the Prudential Center in Newark, then…

MCR are playing a special show in New Jersey on October 24th. Tickets were $100, and all proceeds are going to charity. The show is obviously sold out by now, because they are playing the small venue of Maxwell's Hoboken.

It seems that Frank's grandparent's phone number got out and a lot of people have been calling them.

"Frank: One more thing that I would like to say: my grandparents phone number got out and people kept phoning them up in the middle of the night. Don’t call them. They need sleep and my grandma’s really old. They’ll talk to you for hours, but…
Lisette: We’ll put the message up. Leave the private lives private.

So those are you bugging them. Leave the poor old folks alone.

Apparently a fan in Mexico has given Gerard a hamster. Don't know if that was the smartest idea, but here's to hoping it's still alive.
