My Chemical Romance Sack Drummer For Theft

My Chemical Romance have sacked drummer Mike Pedicone for stealing from the band. Although the nature of theft is yet to be discovered, the band have claimed that they caught Pedicone “red handed” after their show in Auburn, Washington on Thursday (September 1st).

The American rockers are said to be devastated at the events, which follow on from their well-received sets at last weekend’s Reading and Leeds Festivals.

Writing on their official website Mychemicalromance.com, the band issued a statement to fans about the sacking of Pedicone. The statement read: “Some shit happened last night and before the blogosphere gets all crazy with false statements and ridiculous opinions we want the true story to come from us.”

“But please listen close because this is the only time we are ever going to talk about this. 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.”

The statement went on: “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. We are currently moving forward, and hope to have a new drummer in place for our show in Salt Lake City, Utah. The show must go on.”

My Chemical Romance are set to perform in Salt Lake City tonight (September 3rd).
