My Chemical Romance have been dropping teasers this week across their social media platforms. But since fans like us have been burned once or twice, a comeback from the gang is hard to believe. Everything changed when they officially revealed their comeback show this Dec. 20, 2019.

In their social media announcement, they wrote: “Like phantoms forever.” This is a nod to their 2002 E.P. of the same name.
