My Chemical Romance have fired their drummer, Mike Pedicone after he was "caught red-handed stealing from the band" after their gig on September 1, in Auburn, Washington.
Without entering into many details the band made a small press release on their official website.
"(...) 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. 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. (...)"
On the release they confirm that Pedicone admitted everything to the local police. Besides everything the band won't press any charges and want to leave everything in the past.
On that same press release, they confirm that everything ended between MCR and Michael Pedicone.
Michael Pedicone explained on his personal twitter that "what happened is more complicated than it sounds but I did make a mistake" and the situation was "an error in judgment based on a whole other situation that's way deeper but this does not define me."
Dead Country's Jarrod Alexander is the new drummer of My Chemical Romance.
