My Chemical Romance’s Drummer Caught Stealing by Bandmembers

Rock band “My Chemical Romance” have fired their drummer Michael Pedicone after he was caught stealing from the group. The now-departed drummer had joined the band less than a year ago as a replacement of Bob Bryar but it seems that the remaining quartet would have to restart their search once again.

A message was posted on My Chemical Romance’s official website, according to which, the unfortunate incident took place on Thursday last week and a later the band decided to sever their ties with Pedicone.

The message was written under the name of MCR guitarist Frank Iero. He stated, “The relationship between My Chemical Romance and Michael Pedicone is over. He was caught red handed stealing from the band and confessed to police after our show last night in Auburn, Washington. We are heartbroken and sick to our stomachs over this entire situation. The band has no intention of pressing charges or taking this matter any further than we have to. We just want him out of our lives. The people who play in this band are a family, and family should not take advantage of each other like he did.”

Former Death by Stereo drummer Jarrod Alexander has already linked up with MCR on short term basis to cover for Pedicone’s sudden departure.

Pedicone has already tweeted a post in his own defence. “What happened is more complicated than it sounds but I did make a mistake. It was never my intention to hurt this band or all of you. … It was an error in judgment based on a whole other situation that’s way deeper but this does not define me,” he wrote.
