MCR Bassist Takes Break

My Chemical Romance's Mikey Way confirms a temporary departure to spend time with new wife.

Now that colossal parading rockers My Chemical Romance's guitarist Frank Iero has recovered from his sudden attack of illness, the band has endured another lineup issue, now, with bassist Mikey Way. Mikey, the brother of MCR frontman Gerard Way, has announced that he will be taking a break from the band to spend time with his new wife. Gerard elaborated via a band web site post:

"I'm very proud to announce my brother's recent marriage. Watching him grow up into a man and finding love makes me the happiest brother alive. In light of this joyous event, the band has decided to give he and his wife a much-needed break from the road to start a life and have a proper honeymoon and do all of the things a newlywed couple should do. I know this is upsetting news, as it is for us, but we will continue to tour with a temporary replacement until he has situated himself in his new life."

No announcements regarding Mikey Way's replacement have yet been announced.
