It is a huge swath of my life&#8217;s body of work. I couldn&#8217;t be more proud of what we accomplished and deeply moved by the relationships people created and maintained with my music. That alone is the greatest honor of being a musician.  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love my brother and respect his talent but his present demand that I must give up my equal share of the band and that our drummer for 28 years and original partner, Steve Gorman, relinquish 100%\u00a0of his share, reducing him to a salaried employee, is not something I could agree to,&#8221; Robinson continued, referencing his brother, Crowes frontman and co-founder Chris Robinson. &#8220;There are so many people who have helped and supported us along the way. I want to give a heartfelt thank you to all of our fans, our friends behind the scenes, and to everyone who was a part of The Black Crowes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0Jambase, the band&#8217;s last performance was in San Fransisco in December 2013. Chris Robinson is currently busy with his new band, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood.<\/p>\n<p>While promoting the Brotherhood, Chris has been discussing the Black Crowes in recent interviews, saying, &#8220;I don&#8217;t do frivolous things with music. The Black Crowes, to be honest, became a very tedious scenario. I&#8230;I know the Black Crowes are not going to turn around and be something that I think is super amazing again and fun and vibrant with the energy I&#8217;m looking for.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Black Crowes previously split up in 2002 and went on hiatus in 2010, only to return both times.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: Billboard<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rich Robinson announced Thursday (Jan. 15) that, after 24 years, the Black Crowes are breaking&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4901","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4901"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4901\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
