Frank Iero Cancels Remaining 2016 Shows Following Sydney Bus Crash

Band and crew still recovering.

More Frank Iero Frank Iero

Frank Iero has reportedly cancelled all of his remaining shows this year following a horrific bus crash in Sydney last week that resulted in two of his crew being seriously injured. 

The former My Chemical Romance guitarist was scheduled to perform throughout the US later this month and next, however as Alt Press reports, the shows have been cancelled "due to the severity of injuries sustained in Australia".

Iero and his crew were unloading their tour van on a busy CBD street last Thursday in Sydney when a bus crashed into the back of their vehicle — read the full police report here.

It has since been speculated that the two men who have suffered severe injuries are Iero's brother-in-law and bandmate, Evan Nestor, and manager Paul Clegg.

Iero has not made any public comment on the accident since late Thursday night when he told his Twitter followers that he was in "a state of shock".

It has been reported that shows Iero and his band have slated in next year in Europe with Taking Back Sunday are still set to go ahead at this stage.

The Music has reached out to Iero's Australian label for comment.
