My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar has been found dead aged 44

My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar has been found dead at the age of 44.

According to TMZ, Bryar was found dead in his Tennessee home on Tuesday.

He was last seen alive on November 4th.

The cause of death is unknown, but the outlet reported that no foul play was expected.

A medical examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death, TMZ reported.

Bryar was the last official drummer for the band, which gained widespread popularity in the mid-2000s and performed with them between 2004 and 2010.

Bryar met the band consisting of Gerard Way, Ray Toro, Mikey Way and Frank Iero while working as a touring sound engineer for The Used, with whom My Chemical Romance was touring at the time.

He replaced the band’s former drummer Matt Pelissier shortly after the release of their second album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.

According to Billboard, Bryar was asked to replace Pelissier in mid-2004, before the band had ever heard him on drums.

Bryar continued to tour with the band in support of their critically acclaimed third studio album The Black Parade.

He was injured several times during his time with the band.

Bryar suffered third degree burns when his hands and legs caught fire while filming the “Famous Last Words” video, with Gerard Way also suffering torn ankle ligaments, leading to the band canceling upcoming tour dates.

While on tour in 2007, Bryar began having problems with his wrists, telling his MySpace followers that he had a “golf ball-sized bump” in his wrist that caused pain and caused him to lose control and feeling in his fingers, like NME reported at the time.

Not long after the release of My Chemical Romance’s fourth album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, in 2010, Bryar left the band.

Guitarist Frank Iero announced his departure on the band’s website.

“His decision was painful for all of us and was not taken lightly,” Iero wrote at the time.

“We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and expect all of you to do the same.”

In 2014, Bryar left the music industry and auctioned off some of his My Chemical Romance memorabilia to support numerous animal rescue groups.

In a now-deleted tweet from 2014, Bryar announced that he was leaving the music industry to work in real estate.

My Chemical Romance were scheduled to play several stadium shows in the US and Canada next year to coincide with the Black Parade. Bryar shouldn’t play.
