A MESSAGE FROM RAY ABOUT THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVE OUR COUNTRY

Last week we visited the brave men and women at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. We got to spend some time and talked with a few of the patients there. These people have been through so much, losing loved ones, use of their legs and arms, being away for months at a time from their families. Yet they continue to have a great, positive outlook on life.

To me all these men and women who serve are real heroes, reminders of how lucky we are to enjoy the lives we have.

I remember when I was in 6th grade, writing to a soldier who was stationed in the Gulf as part of a school project. I was so excited when I got a letter back, reading how he appreciated the letter, and how good it felt to know people cared back at home.

I know you guys are great at writing letters and showing us your appreciation every day, so we’re asking you all for a favor. Take the time and visit a local Vets Hospital, write a letter, send a card or balloons or flowers or whatever it may be. Show these men and women in service who risk their lives every day your appreciation, and that you care.

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE AND MUSE FORCED TO CANCEL SHOWS ON CURRENT TOUR DUE TO SERIOUS ILLNESS FROM FOOD POISONING

My Chemical Romance and support act Muse deeply regret that they have had to cancel several dates on their current tour due to members of My Chemical Romance band and crew and members of Muse’s crew being struck with serious food poisoning.

The nationwide tour, supporting My Chemical Romance’s platinum album The Black Parade and Muse’s album, Black Holes and Revelations, was brought to a standstill on Sunday when several members of My Chemical Romance’s band and crew and members of Muse’s crew became violently ill after the show at William and Mary College in Williamsburg, VA. With multiple people scattered in hospitals between State College, PA and Columbus, OH, the bands were forced to cancel Sunday night’s show at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College, PA and postpone the show in Columbus, OH from Tuesday, May 1st to Wednesday, May 2nd, provided everyone has recovered. The show originally scheduled for tomorrow night at the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, PA has been cancelled.

My Chemical Romance and Muse would like their fans to know that they hope to resume the tour as soon as possible. Tickets for the April 29th Bryce Jordan and May 2nd Pittsburgh show will be refunded at point of purchase and My Chemical Romance hope to make it back there before the end of the year.
