From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gerard Arthur Way is an American singer. He was born April 9, 1977 in Newark, New Jersey. Way is the lead singer and co-founder of the rock band My Chemical Romance. His brother Mikey is the bass player for the band. Gerard was first in a band when he was eleven. Way used to have long black hair but cut it off and dyed it blonde to better understand the idea behind their new album, The Black Parade.
[edit] Before My Chemical Romance
Gerard attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1999. As a child, Gerard grew up in a dangerous neighborhood where crimes happened often. He said that he was not allowed to play outside much when he was younger. In place of that, he had to stay indoors. While not being able to play in the park, he created his own imaginary (not real) world in his head. This led to his love for artwork. Gerard hoped to one day be a comic book artist.
