My Chemical Romance tease ‘special updates’ as emo legends launch online fan community

My Chemical Romance are launching a dedicated space on Instagram and TikTok for fans to “gather” and to share future updates on the band.

The Helena rockers – Ray Toro, Frank Iero, and brothers Gerard and Mikey Way – are currently amidst their 20th anniversary Black Parade tour and appear to be hinting more plans are in the pipeline with the arrival of the MCRmy.

Alongside a video teaser, the band shared on Instagram: “Today we are launching @MCRmyofficial on IG and TikTok as a home for our fans to gather.

“The MCRmy has been part of what we do from the beginning and we are very excited that there will be an official shared space for special updates, information, and media for all of you.

“We are humbled to be able to do this and that you all continue to show up.

“See you soon.”

Recently, MCR released their fan-favourite cover of Pulp’s Common People.

The bonus 2010 track, recorded for BBC Radio 1, is featured on the forthcoming Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys reissue.

It also includes Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) (Recorded For BBC Radio 1), plus the 2026 remasters of SING, Planetary (GO!), Vampire Money, Save Yourself, I’ll Hold Them Back, S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W and Summertime.

The Deluxe Edition will be available in various formats on July 10.

Fans heading to certain stops on the anniversary tour will have the chance to snap up a limited BL/ind tour‑edition vinyl.

Meanwhile, MCR are seemingly working on a new theatre project.

The emo legends could be set to bring their music to the stage with playwright and actor John Cameron Mitchell.

Earlier this year, Mitchell – who wrote, directed and starred in 2001’s Hedwig and the Angry Inch – told the Only Child podcast that he is working on “a project for theatre” with the band.

He added: “It’s a little secret. It’s not announced yet, but you know I’m gonna give you a little zzzt there. That’s all you’re getting.”

Mitchell didn’t offer any more details and admitted some contracts still needed to be signed, but he heaped praise on the I’m Not Okay (I Promise) rockers.

He added: “And you know, we still gotta sign stuff, but they’re great people. They’re so luxurious now that they do one [show] a week.”

They would be following in the footsteps of Green Day, whose American Idiot musical based on their 2004 LP of the same name ran for over 400 shows on Broadway between 2010 and 2011, before going on tour.

The idea of a Black Parade musical has been floated around for a long time, and back in 2021, Gerard opened up on the possibility.

He told Travis Mills on Apple Music 1: “There were talks very early about some kind of animated musical.

“Then there was talks a decade or so later about a musical. But the person who approached me about this musical there said, ‘Are you ever interested in doing Black Parade as a musical?’

“I was like, ‘To be honest with you, I think it’s too soon,’ at the time. I was like, ‘I don’t think the record has lived long enough.’”
