As reported yesterday, My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way and his wife, Mindless Self Indulgence bassist LynZ (pictured far left), are expecting their first child in the summer.
This means that LynZ will not be taking part in the Kerrang! Relentless Energy Drink Tour 2009, although the band will headline the tour.
The Way household will not be the only home to hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet, as it was revealed earlier today that guitarist Steve Righ? is to become a father later in the year.
"As some of you may have heard, we are thrilled to announce TWO new additions to the Mindless Self Indulgence family," reads a message on the band's official MySpace blog. "In addition to MSI's bassist LynZ and her husband Gerard, MSI's guitarist Steve and his partner Lucinda have announced that they are each expecting babies late in the spring of 2009. This will be the first child for both Steve and Lucinda, as well as LynZ and Gerard."
It continues: "It is very important that you hear this from us first and believe nothing to the contrary: While we will ask some of our friends to fill in for LynZ - and at a later date, Steve - so that they can be with their new families, neither member is leaving Mindless Self Indulgence permanently."
