Hari Kamis sebelumnya, My Chemical Romance dijadwalkan tampil di Washington. Setelah konser berakhir, berakhir pula karier Mike Pedicone sebagai personil My Chemical Romance. Drummer ini tertangkap basah mencuri barang milik band dan kasus ini sampai harus ditangani polisi.
My Chemical Romance memang tak bermaksud memperkarakan Mike namun mereka juga tak ingin berhubungan dengan drummer ini lagi. Sebagai gantinya, kini Gerard Way, Ray Toro, Mikey Way, dan Frank Iero menunjuk Jarrod Alexander, mantan drummer Death By Stereo.
Pada Jumat (2/9) Frank Iero, gitaris My Chemical Romance mengatakan di web resmi My Chemical Romance sebagai berikut :
"Hello all,
Some shit happened last night and before the blogosphere gets all crazy with false statements and ridiculous opinions we want the true story to come from us... But please listen close because this is the only time we are ever going to talk about this. The relationship between My Chemical Romance and Michael Pedicone is over. He was caught red handed stealing from the band and confessed to police after our show last night in Auburn, Washington. We are heartbroken and sick to our stomachs over this entire situation. The band has no intention of pressing charges or taking this matter any further than we have to. We just want him out of our lives. The people who play in this band are a family, and family should not take advantage of each other like he did. We are currently moving forward, and hope to have a new drummer in place for our show in Salt Lake City, Utah. The show must go on.
XOMCR"
Belum dijelaskan apakah Jarrod Alexander bakal jadi personil tetap My Chemical Romance atau tidak karena selama ini Mike Pedicone hanya berstatus touring member saja
