Bob Bryar, the former drummer of My Chemical Romance, has died. He was 44.
The musician, who was the rock band’s longest-serving drummer, was found dead in his Tennessee home on Tuesday (Nov. 26) after being last seen earlier in the month, according to TMZ. Authorities have stated there is no suspicion of foul play. Bryar’s possessions — including musical equipment and weapons — were not taken.

Animal control was reportedly called to the home to remove a pair of dogs after Bryar’s decomposed body was discovered. The cause of his death had not been confirmed at press time.
“The band asks for your patience and understanding as they process the news of Bob’s passing,” a representative for My Chemical Romance tells Billboard.
Bryar, who had previously worked as a sound technician for The Used, joined My Chemical Romance in 2004 while the two bands were on tour. He replaced the band’s original drummer, Matt Pelissier, shortly after the release of their second album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.
Bryar was a key member of My Chemical Romance during their rise to fame, contributing to the New Jersey band’s second album, The Black Parade, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in 2006. He was also involved in the writing of the group’s 2010 release, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, but left the band before its release.
“This was a painful decision for all of us to make and was not taken lightly,” My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Iero wrote at the time. “We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors, and expect you all to do the same.’”
After departing from My Chemical Romance, Bryar retired from music and became a real estate agent, according to TMZ. He also devoted much of his time to dog rescue charities and sanctuaries.
Earlier this month, My Chemical Romance announced a series of 2025 stadium shows where they will perform The Black Parade in full. Bryar was not scheduled to appear at any of the performances. The 10-city tour will launch on July 11, 2025, in Seattle.
