Former My Chemical Romance guitarist Ray Toro unveils solo track

‘For The Lost And Brave’ released in the wake of the death of Leelah Alcorn

My Chemical Romance guitarist Ray Toro has released his second solo track, following new material from bandmates Gerard Way and Frank Iero.

The track is entitled ‘For The Lost And Brave’, and as Toro revealed in a blog post on his website, has been released at this moment after the news of the recent suicide of transgender teen Leelah Alcorn.

Speaking in the post, Toro said: “I wrote this song about a year ago, waiting to release it on my record when it was complete. But lately there seems to be so much hate and understanding in the world. Yet another young life gone because of not being heard, not being understood, and not being unconditionally loved for who they truly were. After hearing her story, and reading her final Tumblr post, I finally felt it was time to share this song.”

‘For The Lost And The Brave’ follows Toro’s debut solo track ‘Isn’t That Something’, released in 2013 after My Chemical Romance’s split.
