Over the weekend, My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way, the black-clad emodeity to scores of drainpipe denim and symmetrical hairdo sportingyouths, incited a collective gasp and ensuing depression amongst fansworldwide when he finally confirmed recent speculation and stated thatthe ring worn on his left hand is indeed a engagement band togirlfriend Eliza Cuts.
Speaking to the U.K.’s MTV2 during Germany’s Rock Am Ring festival — also featuring another epic rock outfit— Way said, “The truth of the matter is that I’m engaged and I’mreally excited about it.” With those words, surely uber-dramatic, blacklavished fantasies escaped the craniums of hordes of fans, both maleand female alike. And while many cope with teenage heartbreak, otherslog more valid worries, claiming Way’s marriage could mark the demiseof their favorite band, shifting the focus of MCR’s steadfast vigor,ceaseless tour regiment, and quality of musical output to adomesticated, decidedly non-fan approved lifestyle.
Here’s what bloggers are saying about Gerard Way’s engagement:
