MCR Cancel Two Shows

My Chemical Romance regretfully announced they are canceling this weekend's performances in both Allentown, PA (9/2) and Syracuse, NY (9/3) due to the hospitalization of drummer Bob Bryar. Bryar was admitted to the hospital late Thursday night because of complications resulting from injuries sustained last month while the band was shooting a video in Los Angeles. He is expected to remain there through the weekend.

The shows will go on as planned with Taking Back Sunday and Cicra Survive, and My Chemical Romance would like to encourage their fans to go see both bands. "One of the major disappointments of this, other than seeing Bob in pain, is missing Taking Back Sunday and Circa Survive," says singer Gerard Way. "Both of those bands are incredible and we hope they have an amazing show." "We intend to make this up as soon as we possibly can in a completely fun and creative way for the fans to not be out in the cold," said band manager Brian Schechter. The band and I feel that they should stick by their bandmate and brother's side in this time and not go play a show with a different drummer. Please bear with us as we sort out firstly Bob's health and secondly the re-scheduling of these shows." The band sends their sincerest apologies to the fans that were planning to come out and see them. For those who would like a refund, they can be obtained from point of purchase.
