2 weeks Ago By Scarlett O'Toole
My Chemical Romance has spoken out for the first time since their former drummer Bob Bryar was found dead at his home. The rock band asked for "patience and understanding" as they process their grief. Bryar died at the age of 44 and his body was found at his home in Tennessee last Wednesday after no one had heard from him in weeks.
His cause of death is yet to be revealed. It's currently unclear when Bryar died, but his body is said to have been "decomposing" when it was found by police. Officials have confirmed Bryar's death is not being treated as suspicious as all of his weapons and music equipment at his home were left untouched.
