Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance Forced to Drop of World Tour…to Return in Australia
According to MTV News, on Jan 11th, My Chem guitarist Frank Iero had to fly back to the US from their tour date in Japan as a result of “a sudden attack of illness”. Drive By guitarist Todd Price will fill in Frank’s spot in the meantime.
According to the Unleash the Bats LJ, Frank will return to perform with the band for their Sydney, Australia tour date at Olympic Park Showgrounds on January 25th.
Here’s to a speedy and long-lasting recovery for Frank. And thanks to Eleni for the head’s up.

Wow that sucks..:( hope he gets better soon…
poor dude
frankie is one of my faves. who am i kidding, they’re pretty much all my faves. hope he’s feeling better soooon.
Aww, poor Frankie. I hope he’s better in time to join back up at the posted date. I hope his bandmates are OK without him. I’m guiltily glad that I get to see them in March, hopefully with all the band members present and accounted for –x MC
OMG! hope frank is gettin better im gonna cry
oh well hope you get better soon frankie
Yeah that freaking sucks because i’m seeing My Chem tomorrow at the Big Day Out and WE MISS OUT on seeing the man
Man, sucks that he’s sick.
“..perform with the band for their Sydney, Australia tour date..” - does that mean he’ll be playing the dates after that, or just that one?
Hope he can play the Melb sideshow date, it won’t be the same without him.
he’s not playing in melbourne which is realii upseting cause im going to see them…..i just hope he gets betta
Oooh poor frank! I am also gonna [hopefully] see him at festival hall in melbourne… i really really hope hes there
i dont know who to believe. is frank coming to melbourne or not?? coz my chem is not my chem without frank and ill be so disappointed. if he only came down for sydney’s bdo then honestly i cant see the point of him coming at all. it doesnt seem worth it if he is THAT sick. Either play them all or none. makes more sense. no point fying all the way out here for one freaking show. why cant they just give it too us straight >.
Man, dodgy he didn’t show in Melbourne last night. Me and my friends all had seating tickets right up the back on the right, so we couldn’t see if the guy playing guitar was Frank or Todd. And then we figured it was Todd ’cause he barely moved around. and then Gerard said it was Todd.
So yes.
frankey is my fave in mcr

Will someone, anyone, pleeeeease tell me wot he`s ill with?
it was something in relation to him having recently had his wisdom teeth out and did not have a proper break afterwards and apparently they were waiting at the airport to fly to oz and frank was like bleeding from the gums and his face was hell swollen so they relieved him from playing. much to our disappointment : (
oh and yeah they are meant to be returning in nov but it was tbc.. i’m thinking maybe they are coming for taste of chaos?
I love Frankie so much
Oh yeah I hope he is back in the band cause he is the best {no offense to the rest of the band I love them just as much}
