There’s something strange about Gerard Way up there in the spotlight, something new. It’s not just that the My Chemical Romance frontman has traded his usual elaborately layered stage outfits for snug black jeans and a shredded black T-shirt, revealing a torso that’s gone from chubby to Bowie-in-Berlin gaunt. It’s not just that he’s dyed his once-dark chin-length hair a crazed-clown red — a look that Way, 33, also rocked in his pre-fame teenage years, inspired by Kurt Cobain and Wayne Coyne.
My Chemical Romance will hit the road in January for their 2011 “The World Contamination” tour — a full-scale trek in support of their brand-new album “Danger Days: The True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys,” which will be released by Reprise Records on Monday, November 22nd. The tour will launch on April 1, 2011 in Portland, OR.
On November 22, My Chemical Romance will return with their supercharged new album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, and if they seem rather invigorated this time out — what with frontman Gerard Way’s radioactive-red dye job and their newfound affinity for Trans Ams and DayGlo leather jackets — well, they owe it all to one song: the hyperkinetic first single, “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na).”
On Wednesday night, My Chemical Romance confirmed what most of its fans had already been buzzing about for weeks now: Drummer Bob Bryar has left the band.
My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way ‘s newest creation isn’t a CD – it’s an upcoming baby. A representative for the singer says Way, 31, and wife Lindsey, bass player of the band Mindless Self Indulgence, are expecting their first child. The baby is due early in the summer 2009. The pair have been married since Sept. 4, 2007. My Chemical Romance is known for hits like “Famous Last Words” and “Welcome to the Black Parade.”
