MCR to be sued by university?

Emo kings My Chemical Romance could face a costly lawsuit for cancelling a show at a US college because of a "medical issue" and then playing at another venue the following day.

Aggrieved members of the University of Maine student body have threatened to sue the band for cancelling the show - citing drummer Bob Bryar's ill health as an "Act of God".

The band have offered to reschedule the gig but the irate students declined the offer and are instead demanding $20,000 in "lost costs".

"Unless it is truly due to sickness or injury of the band, we intend to seek full damages for breach of contract. When they played Friday night, I think that kind of voids an 'Act of God' claim," said vice president of student entertainment Derek Mitchell.
