Frank Iero and his new side project, L.S. Dunes, have been the subject of controversy recently as the well-known toy company, Lego, has asked for the removal of the band’s music video for their track ‘Grey Veins’ which features Lego figures throughout.
In response, Iero took to Twitter to express his confusion and disappointment. The guitarist, who is also a member of the iconic band My Chemical Romance, recalled his many years of Lego building and playing, and vacationing at Legoland, as well as his other band’s 10,000 supporter vote into the Lego Ideas Program.
The musician concluded his statement with an uplifting call to action, “Let creators create. Have your people stop calling my people. Spread kindness, spread the creativity, spread the word. Leggo My Lego.”
Iero’s statement was accompanied by photos of his Lego VIP card and photos from Legoland as proof of his dedication to the iconic toy.
In the wake of the controversy, L.S. Dunes are continuing their North American tour. Their next show is on July 28 at Washington’s in Fort Collins, Colorado. Find out more about their tour dates and tickets here.
