<!-- Begin request -->On the musician infobox edit the instruments by adding keyboards, and put the "b" on bass instead of "B" and the same goes to guitar. Here's a reliable source that you asked http://destroyanews.wordpress.com/2014/02/19/exclusive-mikey-way-moves-on-from-mcr-with-electric-century/ and if is not much problem put vocals as first instrument then bass, then guitar and finally keyboards.

Is there a way to add a personal life section? And if so, can the following be added?

Way has frequently struggled with addiction, leading to the members of Electric Century staging an intervention and forcing him to go to rehab in 2014. In a statement, Way noted: 
"I had been self medicating for more than half my life. And as the band grew, so did the introduction of more drugs and more alcohol. Each time I thought I had hit rock bottom I really hadn’t seen the worst yet. When the band broke up, my using had intensified and I fell into total darkness. In the true form of an addict, I disconnected from everyone I knew and pushed away every one I loved. At that point in my life, I was not only lost but in complete self-destruction mode. In February, I was told I should never have woken up. <i>[sic]</i>"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://loudwire.com/my-chemical-romance-mikey-way-struggles-drug-alcohol-addiction/|title=My Chemical Romance’s Mikey Way Shares Struggles With Drug + Alcohol Addiction|date=November 25, 2014|accessdate=October 21, 2016|work=[[Loudwire]]|last=Hartmann|first=Graham|language=English|type=article}}</ref>
