JAKARTA - My Chemical Romance (MCR) once again paid tribute to their former drummer, the late Bob Bryar, during a performance in Chicago, USA, as part of their Long Live The Black Parade tour.
Bryar was also the emo band's longest-serving drummer. He joined in 2004 and left in 2010. Two years ago, the drummer passed away at the age of 44.
Bryar's significant contributions can be heard on My Chemical Romance's landmark 2006 album, "The Black Parade," their most commercially and critically successful album. The album debuted at number two in the United States on the Billboard 200 and on the UK Albums Chart.
During their performance in Chicago last weekend, MCR, as usual, paid tribute by displaying Bryar's face on a large screen. But this moment was extra special because it took place in the drummer's hometown.
"My Chemical Romance pays tribute to their longtime drummer Bob Bryar in his hometown of Chicago," wrote a fan account on X.
"Oh my gosh???! I'm not emotionally ready yet," said another fan, displaying a Bryar photo on a large screen.
The Chicago show was also highlighted by Devo's support act, joined by Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins for a performance of their 1995 song, "Bullet with Butterfly Wings."
MCR, after completing their North American tour, is gearing up for two shows at London's Wembley Stadium in the middle of next year.
Gerard Way and co. teased the news with a video clip depicting an old-school TV game show. Within hours of tickets going on sale, fans flooded social media to lament the rush to secure tickets for the two shows at the iconic British stadium.
Furthermore, My Chemical Romance will also be visiting Indonesia next year. They will headline the Hammersonic festival, which will celebrate its ten-decade anniversary in May 2026.
