Bob Bryar, Longtime My Chemical Romance Drummer, Dies at 44
Briefly

"It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Bob Bryar, our former bandmate and an important part of the history of My Chemical Romance. We send our deepest condolences to his friends and family at this time. May he rest in peace."
"Though Bryar appears in most of the music videos for Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge's singles and performs on its ensuing live LPs, Life on the Murder Scene and ¡Venganza!, he didn't get his first formal co-writing credits until The Black Parade."
"Bob Bryar fell in love with the drums after being gifted a toy drum set as a child. He soon upgraded to a real kit, joined his high school's marching and jazz bands, and started playing shows in clubs around the city."
"My Chemical Romance were touring behind their sophomore album, 2004's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, they parted ways with their original drummer, Matt Pelissier, and reached out to Bryar to see if he would be interested in taking his place."
