Gerard Way Hints at New My Chemical Romance Album: “You Guys Deserve Another Record, and We’d Love to Make It”
Gerard Way, frontman of My Chemical Romance, has signalled that the band would like to record a new album, their first since 2010's *Danger Days: The True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys*. He made the comments to the crowd during a concert at San Antonio's Alamodome on 12 September 2026, telling fans "you guys deserve another record, and we'd love to make it." The remarks matter because MCR have released only one new song, "The Foundations of Decay", in the 16 years since their last full album, leaving fans hopeful for a proper follow-up.
Way referenced that 2022 single as evidence the band could "keep doing it", while stressing no firm plans or timeline exist yet. The hint came as My Chemical Romance continue their "Black Parade Tour" and follows last week's announcement of a 20th-anniversary reissue of 2006's *The Black Parade*, featuring live recordings and B-sides, showing the band is currently balancing nostalgia with the possibility of new material.

Gerard Way is the lead singer of My Chemical Romance, an American rock band best known for albums such as 2006's The Black Parade. The band last released a full studio album, Danger Days: The True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys, back in 2010, and since then have put out only a single new song, "The Foundations of Decay", in 2022.
My Chemical Romance are currently touring under the banner of the "Black Parade Tour" and recently confirmed a 20th-anniversary reissue of The Black Parade, complete with live recordings and previously unreleased tracks. This mix of touring and archival releases has kept the band in the public eye even without new material.
Fans have long speculated about whether the band, who have a history of breaking up and reforming, might record another album. Any comments from Way about future plans carry weight because he is the band's chief songwriter and public voice, and because so many years have passed since their last record.
