My Chemical Romance US jaunt

My Chemical Romance will do a final US tour before heading to the studio to start work on their next album.

The tour will start in Tempe, Arizona on March 28 and conclude with a big bash at Madison Square Garden in New York on May 9.

The last tour for MCR was the big venue Projekt Revolution tour with Linkin Park but this final fling will see them play a lot of more intimate venues.

Billy Talent and Drive By will join MCR for this round of gigs, while Fall Out Boy will be guests at the Madison Square Garden show.

"We are really excited about the tour," the band said in a statement posted on its website (www.mychemicalromance.com). "Our good friends Billy Talent and Drive By are coming with us. We could not think of a better tour to go away from 'The Black Parade.' We wanted to come to these places. We selected them. We wanted to get away from big shows for a while. When we started this thing, we could feel you guys right in front of us. It is time for that to happen again."
