My Chemical Romance was the first band ever to perform at the Prudential Center, opening for Bon Jovi in October 2007. The band has been inactive since 2013, as individual members have pursued a variety of solo projects.
Their last studio album was Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys in 2010, though they also released a deluxe 10th anniversary edition of The Black Parade in 2016.
Their first reunion show took place Dec. 20 in Los Angeles. They currently have shows scheduled, from March through July, in Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Europe.
The band’s current lineup includes singer Gerard Way, guitarists Ray Toro and Frank Iero, bassist Mikey Way and touring drummer Jarrod Alexander.
