Bad Company But Not As We Know it!
Bad
Company will have a new guest guitarist with them for their upcoming summer
tour after Mick Ralphs pulled out of the shows: Rich Robinson. As the
co-founding member of The Black Crowes, Rich has released four solo albums and
has a new album titled Flux due in June.
"I've
decided to sit this upcoming US tour out," guitarist Mick Ralphs
commented. "The travel required to do these dates is something I'm just
not feeling up for at the moment. I'm glad the band found Rich to take my place
for this run, I'm sure he'll be great. See you all again soon. Much love to
Paul and Simon, and love to all our fans for supporting us over the years
Thanks."
"I'm
excited to be joining Bad Company as their special guest on tour this summer,
Rich Robinson remarked. "One of my favourite bands growing up was Free.
I've been a big fan of Paul Rodgers and his work throughout his career--from
Bad Company and beyond--and Simon Kirke is one of my all time favourite drummers.
To be able to play with Paul and Simon is such an honour. I'm really looking
forward to it. See you out there!"
Bad
Company lead singer, Paul Rodgers and Rich Robinson are no strangers to each
other, having shared a stage late last year in Seattle at the EMP Museum to honour
Rodgers' former band mate in The Firm - Jimmy Page.

"Thanks
for all the messages. I'm fine & in good health, but long touring at 72 is
hard! Sorry to disappoint all our great fans."
