My Chemical Romance split with drummer
March 4th, 2010 by Sophie
My Chemical Romance guitarist, Frank Iero, has announced the departure of drummer Bob Bryar through the band’s website:
“Recently it seems as though every time we write to you guys we have bad news, and we apologize for that, but we’ve learned in life you can’t have the sweet without the sour. As a band we have been very fortunate over the years that our sweet times have greatly outweighed the sour ones, and a great deal of that is owed to you, the fans. Which is why we wanted this news to come from us and not some bullshit gossip site.
As of 4 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 endeavors and expect you all to do the same.
We also wanted to give you all a quick heads up on how the record is progressing. 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.”
No. Bob. D: This has ruined my year.
Oh my god… I’m so mad that this happened. Anyone know why???!
Tragic! I can’t get over how MCR and Bob split! I can’t picture Bob being a non-MCR member right now. It’s so confusing. I wonder what he’ll do next? Oh well, we miss you and still love you Bob! <3!
Marinea, I saw your post and I read from another article about Bob quitting. It said that a few of his family members told another source that he and the rest of MCR had an argument. I bet it was so bad that that’s probably why MCR and Bob aren’t together anymore. I hope MCR stays together! I’m really mad too about this whole thing! I can’t believe it happened either!
