Gerard Way launches solo website, announces signing to Warner Bros., previews new material

Gerard Way has announced that he has signed with Warner Bros. Records as a solo artist and that his debut album is nearing completion. 

You can find his statement below and head to gerardway.com to hear an instrumental song snippet as well as subscribe to his mailing list, follow the blog and pre-order his first official T-shirt. 

Though the big news is that Way's solo album is on the horizon, the site's focus is on him as a multimedia artist with mentions of his visual art, work in comics, writing and unspecified “projects,” large and small.

“Welcome to the site!

I am beyond thrilled to finally have a place to share everything I make.

I imagine you’ll see/hear everything from blog posts to images, art, drawings, music, big projects and small projects, looks into things, under things, behind things, and in front of them. This will also be the place to come for news on anything related to my ride into the next part of my life. I’d rather just start moving so I’d like to say thank you for stopping by, check me out on twitter @gerardway and please follow my friend, traveling companion, and news-broadcaster Lola on twitter, @lolaplusg for updates and info.

Oh, this is probably the best place to announce it so-

I am continuing full-steam into comics, art, and more importantly to some of you- music. I am pleased to let you know I am now signed as a solo artist Warner Bros Records. My album is near completion, and you should expect to hear things in the near future, even today actually- with a brief snippet of what is to come. I am excited. It’s starting again-

G” 

This reveal comes after fans unearthed an incomplete version last week, which had mentioned an album release slated for fall of this year. The new version of the site omits that information, however, leading us to believe it has changed since Way's statement was originally drafted.

See? This is why it's best to wait.
