Bob Bryar's troubled final tweets revealed before drummer's death

Former My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar made several cryptic social media posts leading up to his untimely death.

Bryar, 44, was found dead at his Tennessee home just two days before Thanksgiving. His cause of death has not been made public and it is unknown who found him, according to TMZ.

The American emo-punk band — comprised of Gerard Way, Frank Iero, Mikey Way, and Ray Toro — confirmed Bryar's death and asked fans for 'patience and understanding' as they process their grief.

'The band asks for your patience and understanding as they process the news of Bob’s passing,' a spokesperson for the band shared in a statement. 

Bryar was last seen alive on November 4, the same day he posted his final eerie tweets. Notably, his profile picture shows him wearing a 'Make American Great Again' camouflage hat. 

Much of his social media presence - including several racist and transphobic posts - has been deleted in the wake of his death, but it is unclear when or who took the posts down.

Two of his remaining posts on X consists of one word each simply reading 'TULSI' and 'MEGYN.'  

The posts seemingly referenced former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and political commentator Megyn Kelly.

His third remaining post discusses Linkin Park's newest member Emily Armstrong who replaced front man Chester Bennignton after he died by suicide at age 41 in 2017.

'Emily Armstrong is destroying, shredding faces and making Chester proud. She was the perfect choice. AND she had to deal with the initial hate. that s**t is hard. trust me. word up,' Bryar said.

Several of Bryar's old and deleted troubling posts have resurfaced as fans question why most of his social media has been taken down.

In one screenshot of a delete post from October 29 shared online, Bryar used an offensive term to describe transgender people.

'I'm just happy we can use the word t****y again. I don't care who hates me anymore. Fight me,' he said.

In posts that appeared to be discussing Black Lives Matter protesters he suggested police should kill them.

'All of these protesters and police should all sit down and listen to the new Refused song together. It's so good and they would all be happy. Then the cops should get up and shoot everyone,' he said. 

In another post from October 22, Bryar appeared to be discussing why he separated from his business manager and blamed the Kardashians.

'Lou Taylor was my business manager for 18 years. We just separated in September because the Kardashians are the slimiest pile of garbage on the planet,' he said.

'They make a shitload of money, way more than I do, kind of like prostitutes. Anyways, I cannot be associated with them. Maybe Kendall because she's kinda real and has a SF90 that I could drive. They actually have blood on their hands. I KNOW EVERYTHING.' 

While his cause of death is unknow, his body was reportedly 'badly decomposed' when discovered and Animal Control came to the house to take away his two dogs.

Authorities do not suspect 'foul play' as all his 'weapons and music equipment in the home were left untouched.'

As the longest-serving and final official drummer for My Chemical Romance from 2004 to 2010, Bryar's departure was shrouded in rumors of tension with his bandmates. 

While the band members did not discuss the specifics, multiple sources confirmed that a falling out had occurred, per MTV. 

On March 3, 2010, guitarist Iero revealed that Bryar had left the band.

'As of 4 weeks ago, My Chemical Romance and Bob Bryar parted ways. This was a painful decision for all of us to make and was not taken lightly. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and expect you all to do the same,' he wrote on a statement shared to their official website.

He most recently teamed back up with the group in 2013 on their record, Conventional Weapons.

After retiring from music in 2014, he became a real estate agent and an active advocate of various dog rescues and sanctuaries.

In 2015, Bryar tweeted that after being 'kicked out of MyChem' that he 'became the most depressed, angry, suicidal person ever.'

In a later, since-deleted tweet, he wrote: 'Now, I am on so many pills that I feel a bit better, although, it still (b)others me every day. In a recent conversation, I was told I won’t be back.'

In 2021, Bryar auctioned off the drum set he last used with the band—both on tour and during the recording of their iconic 2006 album The Black Parade—to raise funds for an animal rescue center in Tennessee, according to Rolling Stone.  

Although My Chemical Romance was scheduled to tour in 2025, Bryar was not scheduled to reunite with the band.
