In news to make Emo kids even sadder than they already are, My Chemical Romance have cancelled their Australian tour. Apparently Gerard Way has ‘throat problems’. While in the studio recently, Gerard started having some problems with his voice,” said guitarist Frank Iero in an official statement. “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,” he added. “The bad news is it’s not gonna go away overnight and we have to do what we hate doing most, cancel shows. We are incredibly sorry for bumming anyone out by cancelling, 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.”
Jimmy Eat World have replaced MCR on the bill for the Soundwave Festival which is due to kick off in Brisbane on February 20 and conclude in Perth on March 1. The Emo pinup’s follow up to 2006’s The Black Parade album will be released later this year on Warner Bros which will no doubt give their fans a reason not to top themselves.
