My Chemical Romance have parted ways with drummer Bob Bryar. Guitarist Frank Iero wrote on their official website that Bryar left the band four weeks ago and that "This was a painful decision for all of us to make and was not taken lightly. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and expect you all to do the same." He added, "We also wanted to give you all a quick heads up on how the record is progressing. We have been writing some very powerful new songs so this week the four of us entered the studio once again, and what has been ending up on tape each night is some of the most exciting and honest work we have ever created."
