MCR

Yet, on Halloween 2019, fans world-over immediately went in search of their previous selves, dusting off the cobwebs and fully embracing the news: MCR was back.

So, crack out that red eyeshadow and kohl liner - it was never, ever just a phase. The desperate need to cling onto the past is also not an issue here - the members of MCR have thrived in their own corners, proving to be incredible creative forces in their own rights. When you create something, there's a responsibility that comes with it - the ability to sense when your time has come. Some will recognise this as the time and place of The Shrine return show, but California 2019 holds a much deeper significance if we consider MCR's fourth studio album, 2010's 'Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys'. Conceptually, this raygun-blasting, battery-acid-infused release followed the infamous Killjoys cruising through the Californian desert in the not-too-distant future - and the year in mind? MCR especially ended their story on a high - why risk such an unbelievable legacy? In the eight years since My Chemical Romance was laid to rest, many have also shed a certain side of themselves - a little part of their soul being locked away, frozen in time alongside the emo greats back in 2013.
