My Chemical Romance sparks speculation on new music with teasing clues on Instagram, Entertainment News
The emo legends have posted a cryptic image that has fans going wild trying to figure out what it means.
A picture depicting a stage light was captioned on the band's Instagram: "A dagger, a dagger, Please fetch me a dagger."
The art also features the clue "Time: 7:11:25:00".
In 2022, MCR released their first new music in almost a decade, the single The Foundations of Decay.
In February, Frank Iero kept tight-lipped on rumours about a new My Chemical Romance album.
The guitarist and backup vocalist insisted that there was no news to tell with regards to new material.
Asked if there is anything to "report" about a follow-up to 2010's Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys, he told NME: "No, sorry.
"When that stuff — if that stuff were to happen, we will tell you. We will tell you in the way we want to tell you."
The 43-year-old musician also stayed schtum about the Long Live The Black Parade Tour heading across the pond to the UK.
He said: "It's been long-documented that we are huge fans of the UK — this is a home away from home for us.
"We've done things where the first place we played for a record release was in the UK. It's always felt like a place that we love and that we hold very dear. But, to tell the future? It would be remiss to do that."
At present, the US tour is due to wrap up Sept 13 at Tampa's Raymond James Stadium in Florida.
MCR — made up of brothers Gerard and Mikey Way, Ray Toro and Frank — broke up in 2013 before releasing new song The Foundations of Decay nine years later.
Before their current tour, they had kept a low-profile following their March 2023 reunion run, besides a headline slot at When We Were Young Festival last October.
The I'm Not Okay (I Promise) band's former drummer Bob Bryar was tragically found dead in November, at the age of 44.
MCR asked fans "patience and understanding" as they navigate the shocking passing of their ex-bandmate.
In a statement shared with various outlets at the time, their spokesperson said: "The band asks for your patience and understanding as they process the news of Bob's passing."
Bob replaced Matt Pelissier as the drummer in My Chemical Romance, after the band released Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge in 2004.
He toured with them for many years, before his sudden and unexplained exit from the group in 2010.

Sistic website crashes minutes before start of My Chemical Romance's ticket sales
Former emo heads woke up from their long slumber on Friday morning (Jul 11) as they took part in ticket sales for American rock band My Chemical Romance's upcoming Singapore concert. However, minutes before general sales were supposed to start, at around 9.50am, the website of ticketing platform Sistic experienced an outage, showing a "Bad Gateway" error. The outage was experienced by multiple users, including this writer. For me, the outage continued well past the starting time of sales at 10am, and I could only access Sistic's website at 10.07am and the ticketing page at 11.44am. Many netizens have since taken to online social media platforms such as X to express their displeasure at the outage and long queuing times, which exceeded an hour for many users. "Site crashes 30 minutes before sales open. Refresh hell. One hour [of] queue time. Unavailable. I'm not okay," wrote an X user, detailing their ticketing experience. In a statement to CNA Lifestyle, a spokesperson from Sistic said: "We're aware that some fans experienced brief access issues on our website during the initial launch of ticket sales. "The disruption was short-lived and affected only a portion of users. That said, the majority of transactions were successfully completed, and most fans were able to secure their seats without interruption. We're grateful for the patience and enthusiasm shown by fans, and we want to assure everyone that system stability is a top priority." Longtime My Chemical Romance fan, Rachel Yohannan, was one of those who secured tickets to the concert. The 31-year-old shared that she and her friend had each set up two devices in preparation for the sale. "The shortest waiting time we had between us was 12 minutes, which apparently wasn't too bad compared to others'," she said. Yohannan said that she failed to get tickets the first time she checked out. As such, her friend "stepped in" but ended up buying tickets in the wrong section. "So I decided to try again on my second device and was successful," revealed Yohannan. "It's funny because we were initially so worried about not being able to score any tickets at all, but ended up with luck on our side not once, but twice." As of writing, tickets for My Chemical Romance's upcoming Singapore concert have completely sold out. The concert is set to take place on Apr 28, 2026 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium – close to 20 years since the group's last concert in 2007.

Amanda Anisimova's career comes full circle at Wimbledon after burnout fears
LONDON - When Amanda Anisimova reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals as a 20-year-old in the summer of 2022, she was being hailed as the "next big thing" in American tennis along with Coco Gauff. But instead of providing a launch pad for her career, that achievement led to a downward spiral. From mid-August that year to the following May, Anisimova failed to win back-to-back matches in any of the 10 tournaments she entered, winning a paltry four matches in total during that miserable nine-month run. With her time on the tour taking a toll on her mental health, in May 2023 she pulled the plug on her tennis year to try and get away from it all, after realising that she was simply burnt out from the never-ending cycle of defeats. When she made her comeback to the Grand Slam stage at the Australian Open last year, her ranking had plummeted to No. 442 but, now rejuvenated and ready to go again, that statistic did not faze her. She made it to the last 16 before running into eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka, and rather than getting down in the dumps, Anisimova took it as proof that her career was back on an upward trajectory as it was the first time since Wimbledon 2022 that she had won three successive matches. Even when she failed to qualify for Wimbledon last year, while ranked 189th, she knew that mentally she was in a better place than she had been 12 months earlier. Top stories Swipe. Select.

Seeded 13th, she is back in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon following a nerve-shredding 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 victory over Czech 30th seed Linda Noskova – a result that will allow her to break into the world's top 10 for the first time. "I was just super excited to compete here... and just being seeded was already really special," said the 23-year-old, who opened her Wimbledon account by handing Yulia Putintseva the dreaded 6-0, 6-0 double bagel in the first round. "I felt really good about myself because I think it was just a huge reminder of all the work and progress I've made so far this year. "I knew that every match was going to be a battle, which it has been. I've just been really enjoying the journey here." With French Open champion Gauff having suffered a shock first round exit at Wimbledon, Anisimova and 10th seed Emma Navarro, who plays her last 16 match against Mirra Andreeva on Monday, are the only Americans left with a chance of lifting the Venus Rosewater Dish come July 12. Anisimova will fancy her chances of reaching the semi-finals at the grasscourt major for the first time considering she holds a 3-0 win-loss record against her next opponent, Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. "Ever since I took my break, I just found this new perspective and this newfound sense of fighting for everything and accepting the challenges that come and embracing them," said Anisimova, born in New Jersey to Russian immigrants. "A lot of things have changed ... I feel like my professionalism and work ethic has taken a whole 360. Everything is centred around my tennis and how I can prepare the best that I can. "It's super special and a surreal feeling to be in the top 10. If I thought to myself last year ... that I'll be breaking the top 10 by now, it would be pretty surprising to me, considering where I was last summer." REUTERS
