My Chemical Romance split up

New Jersey band My Chemical Romance have split up.
The band posted this short message on their website:
Being in this band for the past 12 years has been a true blessing. We've gotten to go places we never knew we would. We've been able to see and experience things we never imagined possible. We've shared the stage with people we admire, people we look up to, and best of all, our friends. And now, like all great things, it has come time for it to end. Thanks for all of your support, and for being part of the adventure.

Front man Gerard Way later took to his Twitter account to write down his feelings, in the way an excellent show man would. The full post can be read here: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1rjdh4f

My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die. 
It is alive in me, in the guys, and it is alive inside all of you. 
I always knew that, and I think you did too.

Because it is not a band- 
it is an idea.
Now for the personal posting. However clichéd it may sound, they are the band that shaped my music taste, and overall my life. And thousands of other people's lives. I'm not sure it has quite sunk in yet that they've split up. It'll definitely be strange that they're not there anymore, but their music will be. I would love the chance to say 'thank you' to mcr. xo
