Welcome back to the Black Parade: My A7⅞Chemical Romance is reuniting, at least for one show—and fans have been quick to embrace their emo phase again, with the concert immediately selling out.
The American rock band, which comprises Gerard Way, Ray Toro, Mikey Way and Frank Iero, split back in 2013.
It announced Thursday, Oct. 31 (Nov. 1 in Manila), via its official Twitter account that it was staging a show titled “Return” on Dec. 20 in Los Angeles.
