He was the last official drummer for My Chemical Romance, playing with the band between 2004 and 2010.

Bryar played on the band's most successful album commercially, The Black Parade, which came out in 2006.

The reasons for his departure from the band are unclear, although there is said to have been tension with his bandmates.

He later became an estate agent and was active with animal charities.

Bryar said in 2015 that after he left the band he became "the most depressed, angry, suicidal person ever."

He added: "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."

My Chemical Romance are set to tour again in 2025, but Bryar was not set to be in the lineup.
