Devastated fans of recently split band My Chemical Romance are petitioning for the band to do one last farewell gig before they finally part ways.

The band split over the weekend and the band’s front man Gerard Way has since released a statement explaining why it was time for them to call it a day.

In the statement, the band said: "Being in this band for the past 12 years has been a true blessing. We've gotten to go places we never knew we would. We've been able to see and experience things we never imagined possible."

"We've shared the stage with people we admire, people we look up to, and best of all, our friends. And now, like all great things, it has come time for it to end. Thanks for all of your support, and for being part of the adventure."

Currently, over 6,000 fans have signed the petition aimed at getting the band to do one last tour.

The fan who started the petition stated: "They ended so abruptly without saying goodbye to their fans properly, and the MCRmy is upset. They need to do it correctly if they're going to do it at all."

Other fans have taken to social network sites to air their sadness towards the end of the band. One fan from Florida wrote: "This band has impacted my life in so many ways, and I don't think that I would be the same person today without them.

“A fan for seven years, and It has been my dream to see them and meet them. Without them, it's hard. It's hard trying to accept that I might not ever get to say my thank yous. I love them, sincerely. They were my friends when I had none. They are my heros."
