My Chemical Romance kicked off the UK and European leg of their Long Live The Black Parade tour at Liverpool's Anfield Stadium on June 30. During a performance of the emotionally charged song 'Cancer,' frontman Gerard Way accidentally let out a loud burp into the microphone before continuing as if nothing happened.
Fan Reactions Go Viral
Clips of the moment spread quickly on TikTok and Reddit. One fan wrote, 'Literally the WORST song this could've happened during ?' Another confessed, 'This is the funniest video I've ever watched. I can't breathe, I'm laughing so hard.' Some fans admired Way's composure, with one joking, 'Why does he burp so nicely though lowkey.'
Others saw it as proof the performance was live. 'He definitely escaped any lip sync allegations,' one fan laughed. Another questioned, 'WHY DIDN'T HE JUST MOVE THE MIC I'M FREAKING DYING OF LAUGHTER.'
Timing Adds to Humor
On Reddit, a fan noted, 'Out of all the songs, the fact it was during a song as emotional as Cancer. I imagine a mixture of emotional tears mixed with laughter after hearing Gerard's burp echo into the mic.' However, some defended Way, arguing that singers inhale heavily and such incidents are common. 'I'm actually surprised it doesn't happen MORE often onstage in general,' one fan said.
Tour Continues
The Liverpool show marks the start of My Chemical Romance's first UK and European stadium tour in years, with the band set to bring Long Live The Black Parade to fans across the continent.
