it has been announced that My Chemical Romance’s former drummer Bob Bryar, who was in the band from 2004 to 2010, had passed away at his home at age 44. He was last seen alive on 11/4, leading to speculation that he had been deceased since then; according to TMZ, his body was found on 11/26 when his two dogs were removed from the home by animal control, and was described as being “badly decomposed”.

Bryar joined the band after the departure of original drummer Matt Pelissier, after the release of their first major album, “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge”, in 2004, and participated in their most iconic album, “The Black Parade”. Bryar would then leave the band in 2010 after composing five tracks for the band’s later album, “Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys”, and later retired from music altogether to focus on real estate.

RIP :latin_cross:

Three Cheers is one of the alt-rock albums of that decade. Huge RIP. What a sad way to have to go out.

Rest in peace. I’ve heard that he said a lot of problematic things, which upset fans, but he was a very good drummer and made significant contributions to MCR’s success back in the day. Horrible way to go. :frowning:

I was too old for that emo/scene crap when it was popular but I’ve always loved MCR . Gerald was/is a cutie.
