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

Oh, that's so unfortunate for the people going to see them on Soundwave. Cheese It happens to the best of 'em, vocal problems. I'm happy that he's going to make a full recovery and be back up to par eventually, though.

Also, if it wasn't clear, this is Frank's blog post on the main site.

I really hope he'll be okay. <3 I'm disappointed, and cried a lot (I did spend 2K to fly from Singapore to Melbourne & Sydney to catch (mostly) them) but Frank's blog made up for it. And we ALL know they won't cancel shows unless they reeeeally need to. Get well soon!

I hate it when they get ill, it concerns me sometimes because going on tour and the amount of stress of having a band and starting a family is enough for him to deal with without being ill. But he'll pull through, he always does. It's too bad they had to cancel shows but they atleast explained and have a legit excuse. I hate it when bands cancel for no goddamn reason or can't atleast give a hint why they did it.
Hope he gets better soon and I send my love.
Also, Frank never fails to make me smile, even when he's talking about a shitty topic. Atleast someone brings out the light from dark situations.

Aw man, it seems like these guys have such bad luck sometimes. We all know how much they hate canceling shows. I really hope his voice gets back to normal. That was a nice note from Frank though, and the address cracked me up xD Get well soon Gee!

he isn't injured...its all a big lie. they cancelled for other reasons that will come out later. dont trust these "idols" of yours. they are the furthest thing from idols. and you can choose to not believe me, but just wait. you will all know the truth sooner or later.

I love the oh-wonderous prophecy you speak of. Does it involve Frank giving birth to a baby with a footchest too? Is it really genetic? You will all find out soon on ~Days of MCR's Lives.

Seriously if you're not going to give proof to anything, nobody is going to take you seriously (as shown by the lame text above by me). If you have no proof, and have no intention of telling, then get out and stop posting secretive little messages that hold little value to the conversation. Rolling Eyes If it's going to be shown ~not to soon, they most likely would have seen it coming and not lied about it. If your little hints turn out to be true, then I'll eat my words. Until then, there is no proof in the pudding and the cake is a lie. And nobody will be decapitated.

Oh MCR; trolling conspiracy theorists make you the band you are~~

Anyway, Gabriel Ba tweeted that "Gerard is fine, by the way", so that's good news.
