Lily Allen's mother-in-law? No: My Chemical Romance's Liza Minnelli guest vocal

Liza Minnelli provides guest vocals on My Chemical Romance's new album 'The Black Parade', which Gerard Way says came about because his grandmother was a fan.

Do you know, I must admit I do actually feel slightly embarrassed that I'm so happy McFly will knock My Chemical Romance off the top of the singles chart on Sunday. I guess we should be rooting for My Chemical Romance - who we do highly rate here - but 'Star Girl' is McFly's best song in a while and deserves to top the charts (even if a clever 'box set that isn't a box set so it gets counted as three buys' scam is helping).

Anyway, here's some My Chemical Romance news. Liza Minelli offers some guest vocals on the band's new album, 'The Black Parade', which is released this week. And what's more, she offered vocals for the track 'Mama' for gratis. Frontman Gerard Way explains: "My grandmother was a big fan. We needed someone that had a lot of character, someone that was very strong, sorrowful. She was so sweet and just nailed it right away."

FYI - Liza line goes: "There's shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun. You could cry out your eyes all along". Wonderful.
