This message was posted by Frank via MyChemicalRomance.com: Bob Bryar Parts from My Chemical Romance.
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.
This was posted on the official site by Frank, but it’s worth a mention here. Gerard and the boys, our hearts are with you.
Hello Friends,
I got some good news and I got some bad news….while in the studio recently, Gerard started having some problems with his voice. At first we weren’t too concerned about it and thought it would pass, as these things usually do, but the longer it went on the more worried we all got so he went to see the doctor. The good news is he’s getting the best treatment possible and is going to make a full recovery, trust me we couldn’t be more relieved. The bad news is it’s not gonna go away overnight and we have to do what we hate doing most, cancel shows.
When we started this band all we ever wanted to do was write songs that meant something to us and play them live for as many people as we possibly could, and now in our old age all we want is exactly the same thing… and thats why canceling shows kills us so much, playing for people is what we live for. Your off-time applause, your beautiful dirty faces, your raw energy, and your wretched little voices singing our lyrics back to us fuel our fire, you make us feel alive, and we love every single one of you for that.
So know that as excited as you guys were to see us, we were even more excited to see you. But in order to make sure that we can continue to create music and play it live for all of you for a long time to come we need to give G the time he needs to heal.
We are incredibly sorry for bumming anyone out by canceling, and we hope you find it in your hearts to understand. We promise we will be back in Australia to make it up to you guys/gals as soon as possible. We miss you.
Until we meet again, xofrank

Sorry guys, the scans are a BIT large to post, so redirect yourself here.
All I wanna say in nom.
Yeah-huh! Bring on the fangirls!
ALSOOO. HAHA.
There’s something BIIIIIGGGGG happening soon. LIKE HUGE.But I’m not allowed to tell (:
HINT: It has to do… with MCR.
Ta-ta!
Acoording to these articles, My Chemical Romance, along with 30 Seconds to Mars, and various others will be playing at the Sundance Film Festival; Twitter is holding a conference at the Festival intended to “celebrate the uses and potential of Twitter in the entertainment and film industries.” They will be playing at the Tweet House from the 22nd-24th. “The “Tweet House” is a 3 day & 3 night event, hosted by The Parnassus Group & Relentless Media at The Yoga Shop near Main Street.” Anyone near there? Haha.
**None of the bands listed have mentioned anything about said shows, and have not been listed on official sites, making this information mildly fishy. But I suppose any Utah-ers may keep their hopes up!!
My Chemical Romance was number six in a Detroit News article, listing artists planning to release new music in 2010, stating “music in 2010 will electrify.” Regarding the boys, they said: “The New Jersey rock outfit’s fourth album is the first since it drove a nail through emo’s coffin with 2006’s grand, ambitious rock opera ‘The Black Parade…’” Just a little clip mentioning the new album, etc.
And….that’s all I could find. 
Random photo of the day? Sure.
Couldn’t choose. haha.
Well guys, it seems MCR is really getting active with Twitter, as they’re new off and about following YOU the fans. If you have a Twitter, the OFFICIAL MCR account is @MCROfficial . Mostly you just have to beg and grovel and plead when given the opportunity and they will follow you.
And, if you’re lucky like me, RT you and make you hate yourself for stupid spelling errors like ‘epix’.
Quick update.
The suprise came. Love the layout? (: Johnnie’s great.
I’m aware that James Owen Sullivan has little to do with My Chem, but I’m also aware how many of us were proud fans of Avenged Sevenfold. The Reverend Tholomew Plague, the drummer of Avenged Sevenfold, was discovered dead yesterday, apparently of natural causes. He was twenty-eight years old. His death has affected thousands, perhaps millions of lives, and though a tragedy is among us, let us not mourn his death, but do our best to celebrate his life.
In case you don’t have a twitter, Frank did offer his condolences to The Rev: “@FrankIero fuck i just heard…im at a loss. rest in peace rev, you will be missed.” as did Mikey’s wife Alicia: “@aliciaway What terrible news. I wish I could explain how much you will be missed Jimmy. RIP my buddy… Xoxoxo”
My heart goes out to every fan, to the members of Avenged, and of course, his family. And so, R.I.P Jimmy Sullivan, aka The Reverend Tholomew Plague.
Also, just as a note, (because I know there are people struggling,) if anybody is having a particularly hard time dealing with the news of Jimmy’s passing, feel free to shoot anyone of us an email. I’m sure everyone here is willing to help and offer sympathy.
Beware. Be scared. It’s all to epic.
Okay, before I go further, yes there’s a lack of updates on here. It’s been a month. Why? Well… nothings… really happened.
Besides the fact me and Johnnie and everyone else are super busy. Johnnie graduated, I’m in my senior year of highschool… it’s hard. Bear with us, as time goes on and updates start coming back we’ll update you guys. Promise.
Anyways, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MIKEY. It neded to be said, really. <3
VOTE FOR DESOLATION ROW FOR THE SCREAM AWARDS. Please? I might be going to the awards ‘cuz they’re on my b-day, and they should win. Just because. Vote; here.
Dedicated to Kim. (:
