January 14, 2017

Although it's been almost four years since My Chemical Romance disbanded, fans will be happy to know that all of the guys are still super close.

Former guitarist, Ray Toro opens up about how Frank Iero's accident last year was a reality check for himself and the rest of the band (via NME). “That was a scary time for all of us. Obviously [for] him and his family and the other guys who were in that crash. Not that we weren’t in a place where we weren’t talking or communicating, but it definitely sends a shock into your system. We could have lost this person and, for me personally, I have been friends with him for so long and it was just scary stuff. It was definitely a reality a check for sure.”

Toro goes on to say that all the MCR guys are supportive of each other's projects and always know what's going on with each other. “That is one of the great things—we are still close friends and close family. We all keep an eye, even if we are not in touch with each other every day we all know what all the other guys are up to.”
