October 18, 2016
After ex-My Chemical Romance’s guitarist Frank Iero got into a traffic accident in Australia last week, he had to cancel the rest of 2016 tour dates. The official statement reads that the band cannot go on with the tour “due to the severity of injuries sustained in Australia.”
As reported ealier, the band was involved into a severe traffic accident last week. The band’s tour van was parked in front of Australia’s Twitter Headquarters when a bus crashed into the back of it. Iero “escaped injury but two other men had to be taken to hospital”.
Iero later took to Twitter after the accident to tell fans “thanks all for the well wishes. We’re pretty banged up but miraculously alive and in stable condition. I’m still in a state of shock.”
