LISTEN: My Chemical Romance Premiere Final Song 'Fake Your Death'
You can download the band's swansong now
My Chemical Romance have premiered their last ever single ‘Fake Your Death’ – listen to it now below.
The melodic song opens centring on a piano riff before growing in stature as Gerard Way delivers brutally honest lyrics like: "I choose defeat, I walk away / And leave this place for sane today / Some like to sleep, we like to play / Just look at all that pain."
The defunct band previously said in a statement: “The title is fitting, because as sad as it was to say goodbye to the band, we look at this collection as a celebration of our best songs, and hope the memory of them continues to bring joy to you all as they have for us.
“We hope you take the journey with us into MCR's past, and enjoy the small taste of what might have been.”
Available to download right now, ‘Fake Your Death’ is followed by My Chemical Romance’s career spanning compendium ‘May Death Never Stop You’ on the one-year anniversary of the band’s demise on 24th March.
