Bob Bryar, former drummer for American rock band My Chemical Romance (MCR), has died aged 44 at his Tennessee home, according to US media.<\/p>\n

He was the longest-serving drummer for the group, playing with the band from 2004 to 2010. <\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the band told US outlets that the “band asks for your patience and understanding as they process the news of Bob\u2019s passing”.<\/p>\n

Bryar joined MCR after the release of their second album and helped write songs for the acclaimed record The Black Parade, deemed a “defining album” by NPR Music. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Bryar was born in Chicago, Illinois and studied sound engineering at the University of Florida.<\/p>\n

He met the band whilst working as a sound engineer for a support band on an MCR tour in 2004. <\/p>\n

After befriending them, he replaced the original drummer Matt Pelissier. <\/p>\n

They went on to release two albums whilst he remained in the band. <\/p>\n

However, he suffered third-degree burns in an accident whilst on the set of a music video in 2006, which led to infection. <\/p>\n

Bryar went on to face multiple complications from the injuries, and was hospitalised for a staph infection.<\/p>\n

The band cancelled multiple shows as he recovered, but began a world tour in February 2007.<\/p>\n

By November, Bryar began having issues with his wrist, and was temporarily replaced and returned for the last leg of the tour in early 2008.<\/p>\n

In 2010, the band posted a statement that Bryar had left, calling it a “painful decision”. <\/p>\n

They released their fourth studio album shortly after, which Bryar has five song writing credits for. <\/p>\n

He officially retired from the music scene in 2021 and auctioned off some of his band memorabilia in aid of various animal charities. <\/p>\n

At the time he told radio network ABC Audio: “I have too many wrist issues… it\u2019s time for something new”.<\/p>\n

MCR split up in 2013, but reunited in 2019. <\/p>\n

They are due to go on a US stadium tour in 2025. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
