Bob Bryar, former drummer for the band My Chemical Romance, has died at the age of 44. The news was confirmed by a spokesperson for the band, who asked for patience and understanding as they process the news of his passing. No cause of death or further information was shared.
Bryar was part of the band between 2004 and 2010, during the creation and release of their majorly successful third album “The Black Parade”. He was not involved in the band’s most recent iteration, which is planning a tour for next year.
My Chemical Romance, which formed in New Jersey in the early aughts, had split up in 2013, but later reunited for a show in 2019 in Los Angeles. In mid-2022, the band released new music for the first time since 2014.
