At the top of 2026, My Chemical Romance will be on the road for previously announced shows on their Long Live: The Black Parade tour in South America, Southeast Asia and Mexico.
In 2006, the rock band released The Black Parade, a concept album that follows the tragic story of “The Patient,” who’s a man dying of cancer. During an interview with Kerrang! that year, which was later published in 2022, Gerard, 48, said making a concept album was a “huge risk” — but he had “faith in the world.”

“We knew the expectation: ‘Oh, let’s watch these guys fall on their face’ or ‘let’s watch them make another punk record where they’re pandering for credibility,'” he said at the time.
Gerard added: “I don’t think anybody expected what they heard in track one – let alone tracks two, three, four or five. We knew we had all this crazy stuff, so making the record, as hard as it was, we thought, ‘This is gonna come out one day pretty soon and the expectations are just gonna be obliterated!'”
