My Chemical Romance against suicide

My Chemical Romance has posted a statement regarding the recent controversy  in which Britain's 'The Daily Mail' blamed the band for the suicide of a teenager.

"We have recently learned of the suicide and tragic loss of Hannah Bond.

We'd like to send our condolences to her family during this time of

mourning. Our hearts and thoughts are with them.

My Chemical Romance are and always have been vocally

anti-violence and anti-suicide. As a band, we have always made it one

of our missions through our actions to provide comfort, support, and

solace to our fans. The message and theme of our album "The Black

Parade" is hope and courage. Our lyrics are about finding the strength

to keep living through pain and hard times. The last song on our album

states: "I am not afraid to keep on living" - a sentiment that embodies

the band's position on hardships we all face as human beings."
