Hello Friends,
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.
We hope this letter finds you well, we miss you...
talk to you soon,
xo MCR
...so, Bob did leave the band. Great. I think rumors around his leaving can be discussed here, if another staff [or any of you as members] disagree feel free to say |

that better not have been the reason for them not coming to australia and cancelling their shows because we were told something about gerards voice. and soundwave festival was on feb20.
but noooo bob!
can you imagine MCR without the awesomeness of BOB  |

Posts: 186345 | March 3rd, 2010 at 10:22pm If that was the real reason for them cancelling, then I'd be pretty upset because we were all told something different. I hope that it's both Gerard's voice and Bob quitting, I know I sound terrible, but I'd rather it be both than having everyone been lied to.
So anyway, about this, I'm still not sure how I should react. Inside I feel so terrible, but I don't know how I should express myself. I'm not sure if it's really hit me yet or not. |

Posts: 46256 | March 3rd, 2010 at 10:46pm It's not the fact of albums, it's a fact that a good majority of the fans started their fan-ness with bob. All the boys are my heroes whom I've never been able to see yet, and if I ever do get to see them then I'll love it but I know it would have been complete with bob. I fell in love with mcr when bob was the drummer. Bob makes up MCR for me. every time I look at my wall of mcr posters and stuff, bob is there. It won't be the same looking at them going "wow he's gone", cuz that's the first thing I thought when I looked at them.I don't even care about the albums right now, I care that I'll never see my idols as a whole and i've missed my chances.
I feel like an era of my life is done now. Idk if people think this is over emotional.. |

Posts: 2818 | March 3rd, 2010 at 10:48pm I am even more suspicious of Gerard's 'voice' being the reason for them not touring Australia and cancelling, because it isn't even mentioned in the note. Im kindof peeved now. |

Posts: 46256 | March 3rd, 2010 at 10:54pm It's kind of hard touring without a drummer to fall back on, most likely... I want to be as optimistic as possible... I wonder if they tried to work it out a bit first without releasing it publicly at the time because what if they got together again. What would the point in scaring the fans?
Idk... We most likely will never find out |

Posts: 226 | March 3rd, 2010 at 11:20pm This just sucks. It's terrible. It will be nearly impossible to imagine them with a different dummer.
To me Bob was the one who always stood out in the group. He was (and it hurts to say was) a big part in the puzzle that made up MCR. Now he's gone. Like a big hole in the middle of a beautiful puzzle.
Right now I'm not completely sure what to think. |

I completely agree. =/ And the way Frank broke it to us...it almost seems too calm and formal. Like he was happy that Bob was out of the band. :'( I don't know. This is all terrible. |

That is the reason why I'm so down about this. I never had a chance to really experience Matt's drumming for myself, and I was introduced to the band with Bob as the drummer extraordinaire. And he was always one of my favourites. Even when I did go to my first MCR concert, he wasn't there because of his health, but I forgave him for that. It wasn't the same, but I know he would've wanted to be there.
I really do hope that they ended on good terms, but this is the end of an era now. Just...fuck. I'm really going to miss that boy. |

lycia, everything you have said here makes perfect sense. it is certainly the end of mcr as we know have known them. |

Posts: 8219 | March 4th, 2010 at 12:22am I really don't know what to even say. My Chem has been a big part of my life for many many years. I've seen them once live and they have always held a very special place in my heart. One of my goals in life was to meet Bob and to hug him--not even talk to him, I just wanted a hug. I feel like My Chem won't be the same. I mean, I know it won't be the same. The band has been going through so many changes these last two years but this... I'm upset because for one, I want to know why Bob left. Or why they kicked him out, if that is the case. And for two because when I was going through a hard time, they essentially were my life. Their music helped me overcome things. I feel like without Bob there is no My Chem. I realize I probably sound over emotional and this probably doesn't even make sense. Maybe in a few hours after it has sunk in I won't feel so sad. I truly feel like a best friend just died, though, and I don't like this at all... |
