My Chemical Romance fans are planning to march across London in protest against the depiction of the band in the media.
The march, to be held on May 31, will begin at Hyde Park's West Pond and end outside the offices of The Daily Mail.
The newspaper has recently dubbed My Chemical Romance a 'suicide cult' band in its coverage of the suicide of 13-year-old emo Hannah Bond.
Three hundred fans are so far confirmed to march against the British press, of which the organisers from the MCR Buzznet Community in a statement claim The Daily Mail is the 'worst offender'.
In 2006, the newspaper widely criticised emo and My Chemical Romance and has recently run general pieces about the dangers of the 'cult'.
