My Chemical Romance pays tribute to former drummer Bob Bryar, found dead last week
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," the band wrote. "We send our deepest condolences to his friends and family at this time. May he rest in peace." This heartfelt statement from the band marks the deep loss they feel for Bryar and acknowledges his significant role within the group.
Bryar was the band's longest-standing drummer, taking over in 2004 and contributing to the critically acclaimed "The Black Parade." He expressed pride in the album, stating in 2016, "I don't want to sound like a jerk, but I really feel every part of that record, down to the artwork, is pretty unbeatable. I hope those songs will be around for a long time." This reflects his lasting impact on the band's legacy.
When Bryar parted ways with MCR in 2010, the band described it as 'a painful decision for all of us to make and was not taken lightly.' They encouraged fans to respect his future endeavors, which ultimately led him away from music and into a career in real estate.
