He replaced former drummer Matt Pelissier after the release of the band’s second album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (2004).

Bryar continued to perform and record music with the group on all their subsequent releases until his departure.

On March 3, 2010, guitarist Frank Lero revealed that Bryar had left the band.

‘My Chemical Romance and Bob Bryar broke up four weeks ago. This was a painful decision for all of us that was not taken lightly. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and expect you all to do the same,” he wrote in a statement shared on their official website.

He last collaborated with the group in 2013 on their record, Conventional Weapons.

After retiring in 2014, he became a real estate agent and an active advocate for several dog rescues and shelters.

The star was born in Chicago, Illinois and started playing drums from an early age.

While in school, he performed in marching and jazz bands before studying sound engineering at the University of Florida.

In 2015, Bryar tweeted that after being “kicked out of MyChem,” he became “the most depressed, angry, suicidal person ever.”

In a later, now deleted tweet, he wrote: ‘Now I’m taking so many pills that I’m feeling a little better, although they still bother me every day. In a recent conversation I was told I won’t be coming back.’

Although My Chemical Romance was scheduled to tour in 2025, Bryar was not scheduled to reunite with the band.

The current lineup of My Chemical Romance consists of vocalist Gerard Way, lead guitarist Ray Toro, rhythm guitarist Frank Iero and bassist Mikey Way.
