My Chemical Romance have announced that bass player Mikey Way is to leave the band temporarily.
The group's singer Gerard Way, Mikey's brother, revealed the news over the weekend in a posting at their official website. But he insists the band's future is not in doubt.
While admitting the decision is "upsetting", Way has assured fans that Mikey will return to the group once he has spent some time with his new wife.
He and fiancé Alicia Simmons were married at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas last month, with Gerard serving as best man.
In a statement, Gerard said: "The band has decided to give him and his wife a much needed break from the road to start a life and have a proper honeymoon and do all the things a newlywed couple should do.
"I'm very proud to announce my brother's recent marriage. Watching him grow up into a man and finding love makes me the happiest brother alive.
"I know this is upsetting news, as it is for us, but we will continue to tour with a temporary replacement until he has situated himself in his new life."
There is currently no confirmation on Way's stand-in.
