My Chemical Romance and Muse battling food poisoning

My Chemical Romance and Muse were forced to cancel this past Sunday's (May 6th) gig in Portland, Maine. A press release stated that members of My Chemical Romance and their crew, as well as members of Muse's crew, were still suffering from the effects of food poisoning that occurred after an April 29th show in Williamsburg, Virginia. My Chemical Romance's performance at New Jersey's Bamboozle festival on Saturday (May 5th) "put the ill members of My Chemical Romance in a further weakened state, and they have been put on a two-day bed rest," according to the statement. At press time there was no word on whether Tuesday's (May 8th) show in Worcester, Massachusetts was also scrapped.

The members of Muse were apparently not affected.

Muse is opening for My Chemical Romance on the second leg of the punk group's Black Parade tour. Muse is supporting its fourth album, Black Holes and Revelations. The CD's new single is "Supermassive Black Hole."

Muse announced last week that it will play a headlining show at New York's prestigious Madison Square Garden on August 6th as part of a week's worth of East Coast concerts.
