Bryar, who played on 2006's The Black Parade, was an "important part of the history of My Chemical Romance," the band said

Mr. Bryar joined My Chemical Romance in 2004. The band, led by the brothers Gerard and Mikey Way, had just released the record “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge,” which went platinum and helped build a following among fans of emo and pop punk.

My Chemical Romance paid tribute to drummer Bob Bryar Monday. The band shared a statement on Instagram with a photo of Bryar saying farewell to their bandmate. "It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Bob Bryar, our former bandmate and an important part of the history of My Chemical Romance," the band said.
