My Chemical Romance Members Reflect On Year Anniversary Of Reunion Show

December 20 marked the year anniversary of My Chemical Romance's record-breaking comeback show. What was supposed to be the beginning of a full-fledged reunion ended up being a one-off due to the coronavirus pandemic, and as the band's members keep busy at home in a year that was supposed to be spent on the road, they reflect on that "magical night" and yearn for the day they can play live shows again.

"Thinking back to a magical night three hundred and sixty five days ago," bassist Mikey Way captioned a photo on Instagram of his kids sitting in Los Angeles' empty Shrine Auditorium prior to the show. "Dreaming of the moment when we can do it all again. Until then - Stay safe out there."

"1 year ago today was the last 'show' i played in front of a live audience, and the first show mychem had played in a little over 7 years," guitarist Frank Iero wrote in an Instagram post revealing a commemorative tattoo that says "California 2019."

"throughout 2020 i have been incredibly fortunate to be able to play a few live streams and collaborate remotely with some ridiculously talented individuals... but as much fun as that has been, i really can’t wait for it to be safe enough to be able to play real shows again," he continued. "take care of one another. wear a mask, stay safe, and keep the faith."

MCR rescheduled their North American tour for next summer with hopes live music will be able to return by then.
