Bob Bryar leaving My Chemical Romance D':

So while I was in line waiting to go into the venue to see MIKA last night I got a text from my friend Megan telling me Bob had left MCR. I immediatley broke down and refused to believe it, thinking it was some sick twisted person spreading nasty internet rumours such as the one a year or two ago saying Gerard had died in a car crash which he read, and then laughed and denied it. However, earlier ( i didn't have time after MIKA) I read on MCR's site in a post from Frank, who seems to be delivering ALL the bad news lately, that the rumours are true.

Bob Bryar has quit My Chemical Romance.

I'm in shock.
I always thought MCR were invincible. After The Rev died they were everything I had left. When i'm sad, I turn to them and their music. When im happy, I listen to them again because they're a kickass band. I know Bob had wrist problems but I never thought it'd amount to this. I honestly did think they'd stay together until they were like..40 odd and finally call it a day, together. As a band, Bob included. Without him, MCR feels really different to me. It's like looking at a picture and someone's been torn out but it's plainly ovbious they should be there, ya know?
I've been a totally MCR obssessed for 3, almost 4 full years now. There's a giant Bob Bryar shaped hole in my heart and no damn replacement is gonna fill it. Bob is My Chemical Romance's drummer. Just like The Rev is, and always will be Avenged's. Fair play to his replacement though as he did say he was only filling in for Jimmy and not trying to replace him. I totally respect him for that. I swear if the guy who covers Bob goes on about how he's gonna try bring something totally new and different to MCR im gonna kill him. I want to say that My Chem are nothing without Bob which isn't true because they are all extremely talented but they don't look or feel like MCR without our blonde bearded drummer being there.
Why did he leave? I think it may be because of the wrist thing but couldn't he stay with them, like a sound tech or whatever he did for The Used before he joined MCR? Surely he can't have left them because they fell out or he was invited into another band. I thought the guys have always been really close so there can't have been an arguement and I'm sure they wouldn't have kicked him out for any reason.
Anyone remember Matt Pelissier? The drummer before Bob who WAS kicked out? MCR really seem to have bad luck with their drummers. Matt left after 3 years, Bob after 6.. Do you think the next will leave after 9?
Aghhhhhh...God i don't even want to think about whoever they bring in to replace him. After The Rev's death and everything. I can't handle this..

I think i'm going into a breakdown.
