Three days after the hazy breakup announcement on the bands official site, Gerard Way has confirmed the split of My Chemical Romance via Twitter.

A Vigil, On Birds and Glass. I woke up this morning still dreaming, or not fully aware of myself just yet. (cont) http://t.co/ABApy1MukK

A detailed letter titled “A Vigil, On Birds and Glass”, explains the situation involving the end of My Chemical Romance. The letter is beautifully constructed and reflective of their time together.

“My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die.
It is alive in me, in the guys, and it is alive inside all of you.
I always knew that, and I think you did too.

Because it is not a band –
it is an idea.”
– Gerard Way

Following the shock announcement of My Chemical Romance’s breakup earlier today, Gerard Way tweeted the following to fans.
