MCR's drummer explains cancellation

My Chemical Romance have revealed that they cancelled a university show recently because their drummer has a longterm wrist injury.

The emo band, who had been due to play a show at Maine University, felt the wrath of the student body when they pulled the show at the last minute due to a "medical issue" but played a gig the following day.

"We are very sorry about cancelling our recent show in Maine," explained drummer Bob Bryer on the band's MySpace page, "I have been having many problems with my wrists over the past few years.

"They have been getting worse but I kept playing. I have seen many doctors to get some relief so I wouldn't have to stop playing. I guess I pushed it too hard this time.

"I went through a process to control the swelling and attempted to play the show with Bon Jovi the next day. The Bon Jovi show was really bad for me - I was dropping sticks and could barely hit my drums."
