Emo royalty My Chemical Romance just gave their devoted followers the ultimate reason to celebrate. While bringing down the curtain on their nostalgic 'Long Live The Black Parade' stadium run in Texas, lead singer Gerard Way dropped a major bombshell from the stage. The rocker revealed that the group genuinely hopes to hit the studio to craft a brand-new full-length project. If those plans pan out, it would mark the legendary band's first original record in fifteen years. The emotional reveal took place during the band's tour finale at San Antonio's Alamodome on September 12. Fans in attendance were already riding high after watching the group perform their landmark 2006 concept album from start to finish. To elevate the energy even further, the band relocated to a B-stage positioned right in the center of the stadium floor for a hit-packed secondary performance. That is when Way decided to open up about what comes next.
