My Chemical Romance returned to the stage for the first time in seven years on Friday night for a spectacular show.

The band played a highlight-strewn 20-song set at the Shrine Exposition Hall in Los Angeles, California, and wasted no time in setting the tone for the evening – launching straight into fan favourite I’m Not Okay (I Promise).

There was even time for Sara Taylor from Youth Code to join MCR for Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge track You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison, with My Chemical Romance wrapping up the evening with three encores.
