Frank Iero addresses rumours of new My Chemical Romance music and UK tour
Frank Iero is keeping tight-lipped on rumours about a new My Chemical Romance album.
The emo rock band’s guitarist and backup vocalist has insisted that there is no news to tell with regards to new material, insisting the ‘Helena’ rockers will “tell you in the way we want to tell you”.
Asked if there is anything to “report” about a follow-up to 2010’s ‘Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys’, he told NME: “No, sorry.
“When that stuff – if that stuff were to happen, we will tell you. We will tell you in the way we want to tell you.”
The 43-year-old musician is also staying schtum about the ‘Long Live The Black Parade Tour’ heading across the pond to the UK.
He said: “It’s been long-documented that we are huge fans of the UK – this is a home away from home for us.
“We’ve done things where the first place we played for a record release was the UK. It’s always felt like a place that we love and that we hold very dear. But, to tell the future? It would be remiss to do that.”
At present, the US tour is due to wrap on September 13 at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium in Florida.
MCR - made up of brothers Gerard and Mikey Way, Ray Toro and Frank - broke up in 2013 before releasing new song 'The Foundations of Decay' nine years later.
Before their current tour, they had kept a low-profile following their March 2023 reunion run, besides a headline slot at When We Were Young Festival last October.
Frank’s interview comes a few months after the ‘I’m Not Okay (I Promise)’ band’s former drummer Bob Bryar was tragically found dead in November, at the age of 44.
MCR asked for fans "patience and understanding" as they navigate the shock passing of their ex-bandmate.
In a statement shared with various outlets, their spokesperson said: "The band asks for your patience and understanding as they process the news of Bob's passing."
Bob replaced Matt Pelissier as the drummer in My Chemical Romance, after the band released 'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge' in 2004.
He toured with them for many years, before his sudden and unexplained exit from the group in 2010.
