My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way has spoken out about his band's new track 'Cancer', which appears on forthcoming album 'The Black Parade', out 23 Oct.
The singer said in a statement: "It's not a poetic track. It's very direct, very brutal, but that's the way disease is. Obviously cancer is being used as a metaphor. But I also wanted the song to be directly about the disease, because it's something that the patient has gone through and it's a very powerful thing. For me it was almost like an attempt to write the darkest song ever, and I think we achieved that."
