Although they split back in 2013, the members of My Chemical Romance still meet up once a year for a BBQ.
When they reunite for the annual get-together, they don’t just hang out but “discuss business” too. In 2016, something they discussed was the trailer for “Black Parade” reissue which led the world to believe the band were getting back together, which of course, they weren’t. Three years later, guitarist Frank Iero has explained how the whole thing came up.
“Every year, we meet and have a barbecue kind of thing. We’ll have the barbecue, kids will hang out and we’ll discuss business for the next year. And we were like, ‘Oh, that would be really cool. We should do a little teaser trailer for it. Alright, that’s what we’ll do,” Iero told Seaton O’Connor.
“So, we told the lady what we wanted, and they made this trailer, and we released it,” he continued. “And all of a sudden we were like, ‘Oh, wait. Everyone’s real confused.’”
He added: “Here’s the thing. We were always like a theatrical band and we wanted to continue in that fashion, but when you’re not a band any longer, it’s probably harder to do that. We didn’t realize.”
So yes, the band still hang out but no, a reunion probably isn’t on the card any time soon.
