Due to the COVID-19pandemic, fans are still anxiously waiting to see My Chemical Romance hit the stage for their upcoming return tour.
Now, Frank Iero has revealed how he feels about MCR having to delay their return tour. As it turns out, the band seemingly had a lot of things going on behind-the-scenes before the pandemic hit.
However, as the COVID crisis hit early last year, My Chemical Romance’s tour plans quickly became unrealistic. By mid-2020, the Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the U.K. and U.S. tours were all postponed.
As it stands, My Chemical Romance’s return tour is set to kick off on June 15 in the U.K. Now, Frank Iero has finally opened up about My Chemical Romance hitting the pause button on their highly-anticipated tour.
During a recent interview with At The Drive-In‘s Jim Ward, Iero reveals that the band actually had a lot of things planned. Despite this, he can’t wait to finally perform on stage with his MCR bandmates again soon.
“I can’t wait, man,” Iero says. “I really can’t. It’s such a weird experience to be like, ‘hey alright all of this stuff that we’ve been working towards and these well-made plans,’ and all of a sudden it’s like, ‘ah hurry up and wait.’ But it happens…The play is to make it seem like you didn’t put any work in, you didn’t prepare for anything like fucking James Dean. You just want to be cool without even trying.”
As well, the Used‘s Jeph Howardseemingly confirmedthoseMCR tour rumors were true after all. Last month, Howard explained that the Used were really supposed to open for a few My Chemical Romance return shows. However, it’s still unknown if they will be joining the tour sometime this year.
