Well shit.

From chemicalromance: "I've just been informed by someone on mychemicalromanceforum.com that Frankie has had to leave the tour due to "personal reasons". Apparently the girl I heard it from is at the Aberdeen show now and Frank's not there.

That's all I know."

Wow. Um. I've got chills and think I might cry. I mean, I'm worried for Frankie and hope he's okay, but I spent an arm and a leg getting myself to the O2 show on Thursday and my self-motivation has been saying "FRAAAAANKIE" whenever I got stressed or upset. If he's not there... well, I almost want to say it's not worth it. But I can't back out.

Someone in the comments also said they cut the set short - no Bullets.

Um. I don't want my MCR experience to be with 3/5ths of the band, honestly.

Shit. Frankie :(

I'm actually really worried about him - something has been off recently. Reports from people who have been at Europe dates have said he's been very restrained on stage, and didn't interact with Gerard at all. Which just isn't Frankie. Throw in how he looked/acted in the photos at the EMAs, well... I just hope there isn't anything seriously wrong.

And I really want my Frankie back.

Wow, I think I'm cursed.

ETA: New post at the comm with DETAILS! Hurrah! She has this to say:
"A couple of songs in, Gerard announced that Frank's had to leave the tour for the time being and fly straight home because of "personal reasons/issues". He said that they were all thinking of him, and were missing him already. He said Frank would be back, not to worry."

Sooo it's a question of when he'll be back! Obviously I hope that whatever the problem is, it will be okay, and that everyone will be fine, and that Frankie can return soon. Three days? Hmm! There is a glimmer of hope!

Wow. It feels like my stomach just bottomed out.

Jesus, boys, what's going on? D:


*HUGS YOU* I'm so sorry it looks like you'll be missing both Bob and Frankie. That sucks so hard, darling :(

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I got that sensation too. I'm really just... kind of floored. And worried. And upset. And feeling selfish for being upset but. A LOT OF MONEY. For three fifths of this band. And perhaps less than a full show.

I just. Don't know what to do anymore. *puts head between knees*

[teaspoon.livejournal.com]

oh no! i'm so sorry, honey.

also, i'm super worried. :/

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I'm so worried and so upset my stomach is in knots. It sucks because Frankie's got something seriously wrong, and it sucks because that means my show is going to barely resemble the full MCR experience.

I just. What. >.

First, I must fret about Frankie. We pretty much know nothing short of serious illness or like, something happening to someone in his family could pull Frank off tour, so I'm really really worried for him. *frets*

And secondly, you're allowed to feel that completely selfish disapointment and not be guilty about it. You know you've concerned about Frank, but it still sucks on a purely surface level that he won't be there for your show. I'm so sorry hon, that's just. :-( :-(

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

New info has surfaced, see my ETA... Frank WILL be returning to the tour. It's obviously unclear when, but there is hope!

Still really worried about him though :(

[keeplistening.livejournal.com]

Wow, that really sucks. I'm sorry, sugar! :(

Hopefully he'll be back in time for your show! You've gone to crazy lengths to see them... :/

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I really have :-/ I mean. I don't know. if they don't CANCEL (oh god) it won't be a total loss, you know? Geeway and Mikeyway and Ray! And music that I love! And hanging out with a fellow awesome fangirl! I just hope Frankie and family are okay :-/

*hugs* Thanks honey :(

[darksylvia.livejournal.com]

Noooo! I'm not even that IN to MCR and Frankie is my fave.

[glamorous-nymph.livejournal.com]

I love Frankie a hell of a lot, but honestly I don't... care. About not seeing him.

Idk, I kinda. I mean the music will be awesome either way, so.

I just hope he/Jamia/his fam are ok.

And what's the betting there'll be wank about this whole thing? lol.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you feel that way, I was worried you'd be upset too. I know the music's going to blow my mind, but it's just... Frankie. When I watch videos of their live performances, I'm always straining to catch a glimpse of him doing his THING. I don't even know why, but it fascinates me.

Then again, lately he apparently hasn't been doing his "thing". He's been restrained and lowkey and that would have kind of been disappointing too. Idk! It'll still be an awesome show... if I don't get lost trying to get there! Oh hey, on that note, miss Londoner, I'm taking a train from Gatwick Airport to Hampton Court, and I've got two changes... how difficult is it to make changes? When you have ten minutes to do so? How should I make sure that I don't miss them?

(Your iconnnn. PSEUDOCHEMGEEK FRANKIE. LOVE.)

There already is quite a bit of wank in the comments to the original post on chemicalromance. Apparently the poster is severely censoring the comments, deleting and screening a million of completely innocuous conversations. So people are all up in arms about THAT on TOP of Frankie being gone, and the speculation about why and whatever. Gah.

Ack, I hope everything is okay. *crosses fingers*

[snuffkin.livejournal.com]

:( Frankie! I hope everything's going to be okay with him ...

I was at the Aberdeen show and yeah, it was pretty sad when we realised that Frank wasn't there, especially since I made an effort to stand at his side of the stage, but it was still a damn good show and Matt did an amazing job! I didn't really want my first time seeing them to only be with Gee, Mikey and Ray either but now it just makes me more excited for the next time I get to see them when all five will be there. I was hoping for stuff from Bullets too but we got Thank You For The Venom and Cemetery Drive and those are two of my favourite songs so I was happy and we even got a little bit of Gerard groping Mikey! Don't worry about the show because you'll have an amazing time. Hopefully Frank will be back in time for your show :)

Er, hi by the way! Hope you don't mind me commenting :D
