After a long seven-year-hiatus, My Chemical Romance fans will be happy to hear that the band have announced a huge reunion gig.

The gig is scheduled for Los Angeles on Friday 20 December this year, with tickets going on sale from tomorrow.

No other locations are confirmed so far, but as is usually the case with this sort of thing - a world tour is most likely going to be announced soon.

Speculation began when the band changed their profile picture across their socials to a drawing of a candle - obviously whipping up excitement among those of us with more emo tendencies.

Not only that, but the band have modernised and launched their first ever Instagram page.

Before they split the band released four albums together, with the 15th anniversary of their debut causing fans to start to question the likelihood of more material or live shows.

Since they split, the band members have each individually worked on their own projects - with Gerard Way working on his Umbrella Academy Netflix shows, based on the comics of the same name.

It's not the first time Gerard's been in the news today either. As luck would have it, or not, the news that he has a very famous and still relevant relative emerged.

During a recent interview on his podcast, Joe Rogan revealed that he was related to Way.

The comedian made the shock revelation to director and writer Kevin Smith - who worked with Way on the hit Netflix series The Umbrella Academy - who took the opportunity to ask Rogan about the familial ties.
