Gerard Way

Gerard Arthur Way born April 9, 1977 is an American musician and comic book writer who has served as lead vocalist and co-founder of the band My Chemical Romance since its formation in 2001. He is also the writer of Eisner Award-winning comic book The Umbrella Academy.

As My Chemical Romance walked onto the stage, there were no large curtains shielding them from view.

Frontman Gerard Way was not wheeled out on a gurney, clad in a hospital gown with an IV in his arm. In fact, no member of the band was in a costume.

Instead, the band was shorn of most of the theatrics that adorned them during their last tour, The Black Parade Tour.

On Friday night at In The Venue in Salt Lake City, the New Jersey-bred rock band signaled that they were going back to basics, ready to reclaim their status as one of the most dynamic rock bands in North America.
