We have recently learned of the suicide and tragic loss of Hannah Bond. We’d like to send our condolences to her family during this time of mourning. Our hearts and thoughts are with them.
My Chemical Romance are and always have been vocally anti-violence and anti-suicide. As a band, we have always made it one of our missions through our actions to provide comfort, support, and solace to our fans. The message and theme of our album “The Black Parade” is hope and courage. Our lyrics are about finding the strength to keep living through pain and hard times. The last song on our album states: “I am not afraid to keep on living” – a sentiment that embodies the band’s position on hardships we all face as human beings. If you or anyone that you know have feelings of depression or suicide, we urge you to find your way and your voice to deal with these feelings positively.

NME.com speaks to protest organizer.
My Chemical Romance fans’ march against The Daily Mail next weekend (May 31) could attract up to a thousand protestors, says the organisers.
As previously reported, fans of the band are set to march in London to protest against press misrepresentation of their heroes, especially in The Daily Mail.
Smith, who only began to organise the march last Friday (May 16), told NME.COM: “At my last check there were 426 entries on the list, but I’m expecting to have at least 500 by tomorrow evening (May 24). [The police] are asking for numbers and I’m thinking maybe I should say a thousand.”
Explaining that the march is “100% for My Chemical Romance” rather than emo music in general, Smith said: “The [Daily Mail's] words ’suicide cult’ really stand out for me, because it’s just so far from the truth. As a fanbase it’s such an insult ’cause we fight so hard and so many of us suffer from depression, and we fight everyday to ward it off.
“The way [many teenagers are] fighting it is with My Chemical Romance’s help and it’s just such an insult to tell us that the last thing we have to hold on to and the last thing that’s keeping us alive is killing us, because it’s not.”
Smith directly attacked the Daily Mail’s suggestion that the emo group promotes suicide and self-harm, saying: “My Chemical Romance is my whole life and I take it very seriously, but at the same time the message that we’re taking seriously isn’t about death and how you should die and killing yourself and all that, it’s about how you should love life and experience every moment that you can.”
The march, set to begin at Hyde Park’s West Pond in central London, takes place on the afternoon of May 31.

Born in part from designs created while on tour with his platinum selling rock outfit, My Chemical Romance, Gerard Way’s Umbrella Academy team formed the basis of one of comics’ most welcome surprises last year. Way’s debut miniseries is alternately ominous, funny, and surprising, all while reflecting a deep appreciation for and knowledge of its roots, paying quiet homage to everyone from Jack Kirby to Grant Morrison

You’d be forgiven for initially writing off Umbrella Academy as something of a vanity project. After all, as the comics medium continues to prove itself an ample source of fodder for nearly every aspect of popular culture, from popcorn movies to fine art to literature, celebrities ranging from Michael Chabon to Jenna Jameson have begun happily attaching themselves to the form’s perpetual balancing act between the worlds of high and low art, with mixed amounts of success and legitimacy.
For those whose knowledge of Gerard Way begins and ends with the last half-dozen years spent as the frontman of the wildly successful pop-punk outfit, My Chemical Romance, the concept of the singer penning a mini-series for Dark Horse seems perhaps a little more than a method of killing time between the release of records. Such assumptions couldn’t be further from the truth, however. As the artist himself will readily attest, comics are Way’s first love. Years before the birth of MCR, he graduated from Manhattan’s School of Visual Arts in 1999, with BFA in comics studies, working his way up to an internship with DC Comics.
