Bob Bryar, former drummer of MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, has died at the age of 44. Bob Bryar was found deceased in his Tennessee home on Tuesday, November 26, 2024. Authorities have confirmed there were no signs of foul play, and his personal belongings remained undisturbed. The exact cause of death is yet to be determined and remains under investigation.

Bob Bryar became a vital part of the American Punk Rock band, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, in 2004, stepping in as the replacement for the band’s original drummer, Matt Pelissier. His contributions spanned several releases, most notably the band’s celebrated album The Black Parade. Fans still hold his work during this era in high regard. However, his tenure with the band came to an end in 2010.

In 2015, Bryar shed light on the difficult period following his exit from the band. In a candid social media post, he revealed:

“It’s been about five years since I was kicked out of MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, I became the most depressed, angry, suicidal person ever. Now, I am on so many pills that I feel a bit better, although, it still bothers me every day. In a recent conversation, I was told I won’t be back.”
