The Black Parade has hit another snag in the road as My Chemical Romance continues to tour around the world in support of their latest album.

Guitarist Frank lero has had to return home from the tour to tend to a family illness. This leaves the band short two members as drummer Bob Bryar recently had to stand aside to allow a wrist injury to heal. Guitar tech Matt Cortez will fill in for lero while he is gone. Cortez has some experience on stage with the band already. He filled in for bassist Mikey Way while he took time off to enjoy life as a newlywed.

My Chemical Romance wrap up their current tour of the UK with a stop in Belfast on Saturday before heading to Australia and New Zealand 10 days later. There is no word on whether lero or Bryar will be back on stage by that time.
