Just a quick note to clear things up, My Chemical Romance will NOT be doing shows in Australia other than those scheduled for their December tour. The rumour quashing comes after a recent advertisement in Sydney suggested the band would be playing elsewhere. Don't stress though, the tour begins next week and tickets are still available for all shows. Check 'em out at: NOVEMBER DECEMBER |

My Chemical Romance member Frank Iero is the second bandmate to quit the group's UK tour after a illness within his family.
Iero has pulled out of the emo rocker's shows in London (November 15) and Belfast (November 17) and will be replaced by a stand-in named Matt Cortez, reports Gigwise. Iero's departure follows the temporary exit of drummer Bob Bryar, who injured his wrist last month on the Black Parade gang's North American tour. Replaced by a man simply known as 'Pete', Bryar has decided to remain on the tour bus supporting the dwindling group. Not overly phased by the changes, lead singer Gerard Way told NME: "We've been through a lot of stuff on this record, dealt with life situations and stuff. "Ultimately it's going to be a little different and look a little different, but we're ready for this." |

My Chemical Romance have lost guitarist Frank lero for the remainder of the band's U.K. tour. Down to only three original members on their trek across the world, it's looking as though The Black Parade will be a far sadder procession by the time they return home. Iero dropped out of the tour this past Sunday in Newcastle after learning of a family illness. He'll be temporarily replaced by guitar tech Matt Cortez. Cortez already has some experience playing on stage with the band after filling in for bassist Mikey Way during his six-month hiatus as a newlywed. The loss of lero is not the only setback faced by My Chemical Romance as they continue to tour across the world in support of 2006's The Black Parade album. Drummer Bob Bryar is sitting out dates while he |

What's going on with Bob? Here's the answer

"Hi, it's Bob. We are very sorry about canceling our recent show in Maine. I have been having many problems with my wrists over the past few years. They have been getting worse but I kept playing. I have seen many doctors to get some relief so I wouldn't have to stop playing. I guess I pushed it too hard this time. During our show at Maxwell's I got a golf ball-sized lump in my wrist, I started to not only have pain, but lose control and feeling in my fingers. I went through a process to control the swelling and attempted to play the show with Bon Jovi the next day. The Bon Jovi show was really bad for me - I was dropping sticks and could barely hit my drums. After that show we decided I had to go get immediate treatment. I had to leave the

After paying compensation...
My Chemical Romance have agreed to pay Maine University $20,500 over a cancelled concert late last month, avoiding the legal proceedings threatened. The University’s Student Government had threatened to sue the rock outfit over lost promotional costs, fees to contractors and compensation costs from the axed show on October 27. This led to a furious backlash from many MCR fans, who claimed the University were taking matters too far and that the band has a genuine reason for missing the show.
Speaking to The Maine Campus magazine, Derek Mitchell, the vice president of student entertainment, said of the agreed compensation: "It sort of came as a surprise that they agreed to do it, but at the same time we're really pleased that they understood the situation and were so quick to agree. "We are very |
