Bassist Mikey Way is temporarily leaving My Chemical Romance to spend time with his new wife. The popular band will continue on with a currently unnamed replacement until Way is able to return to active duties. Mikey married his fiancée Alicia Simmons at on March 8th in Las Vegas.

Way's brother and band frontman Gerard commented:

The band has decided to give him and his wife a much needed break from the road to start a life and have a proper honeymoon and do all the things a newlywed couple should do.

I'm very proud to announce my brother's recent marriage. Watching him grow up into a man and finding love makes me the happiest brother alive. I know this is upsetting news, as it is for us, but we will continues to tour with a temporary replacement until he has situated himself in his new life.

The band released The Black Parade last year.
