My Chemical Romance fire drummer

Tue, 06 Sep 2011

My Chemical Romance have released a statement to confirm that as of last Thursday Michael Pedicone, who joined the band in 2010 to replace Bob Bryar, was no longer a member of the band.

The official statement from guitarist Frank Iero said that the drummer had been "caught red-handed stealing from the band and confessed to 
police".

After their show in Auburn, Washington he was kicked out of the band with immediate effect and they will continue their tour with Blink 182 with replacement drummer, Jarrod Alexander.

The official statement on the bands website reads:

"We are heartbroken and sick to our stomachs over this entire situation.

"The band has no intention of pressing charges or taking this matter any further than we have to. We just want him out of our lives.

"The people who play in this band are a family, and family should not take advantage of each other like he did."
