Former My Chemical Romance Drummer Found Dead At 44: Reports

HOLLYWOOD — Former My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar has died, according to reports.

TMZ reported Bryar, who was with the band from 2004 to 2010, was found deceased Tuesday at his Tennessee home after he was last seen alive Nov. 4, adding foul play is not suspected in the 44-year-old's death.

"The band asks for your patience and understanding as they process the news of Bob’s passing," a spokesperson for My Chemical Romance told NBC News in a statement.

Bryar was a sound technician for The Used before joining My Chemical Romance in 2004, replacing original drummer Matt Pelissier, according to Billboard, which reported he stayed with the band through its rise to fame with "The Black Parade" in 2006.

"Long before we recorded 'Welcome To The Black Parade,' I knew that [MCR] were special and I wanted in," Bryar told Alternative Press in a 2016 interview. "As we were recording the record, I was getting more and more excited. It was turning out to be a very complete and a very entertaining audio story. ... I was nervous that it may not be well-received by old school My Chem fans, but also had a feeling that they had grown just like us and would probably love it."

Bryar told the publication the "Black Parade" tour was "the most fun period of my entire life" and recounted suffering third-degree burns that led to gangrene and a blood infection while filming the music video for "Famous Last Words."

"I had two guys from the fire department and a stunt guy explaining how they are going to have to cover my entire back and head in fireproof gel. All of a sudden, we get called to set for the last take and we start playing — but I never got the gel," he told Alternative Press.

"At right about the second chorus, my leg started to hurt ... I then realized that the shiny silky lining in my pants on my left leg was completely melted to my leg. ... All I could think about was how this was the take, because the float was burning to the ground. I couldn’t stop playing because it would ruin the shot that we only had one chance to burn the float."

Bryar helped write the 2010 album "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys," but left before it was released, Billboard reported.

"You won’t find one My Chem item in my house," he told Alternative Press. "Not one. I don’t need to be bummed out everyday by hearing or seeing things relating to something that I thought would last forever."

Bryar later went on to pursue a career in real estate, according to TMZ.
