“I can say without a second thought that if it weren't for Skid Row in my bones, I wouldn't be the rocker I am today,” the singer writes when he joined the glam metal band for four shows.
Days after booking Her dream gig as the 'headlining act' of Skid Row, Lzzy Hale has written a statement to fans about why the job and the glam metal band mean so much to her.
“I started listening to Skid Row when I was a teenager growing up on the east coast in central Pennsylvania,” Hale wrote on social media. “They were one of the only bands at the time that really bridged the gap for my love of big '80s choruses and riffs, but they had the same nasty grime and grime seeping into the cracks of my mind during of the 90s. In the early 00s, Halestorm started to go on their own, inspired by these powerful songs that helped unlock a door within me as a young musician.”
He continued, “I can say without a second thought that if it wasn't for Skid Row in my bones, I wouldn't be the rocker I am today.”
Earlier this week, Skid Row revealed that their latest singer, Swedish idol The winner, Erik Grönwall, had left the team to focus on his health. Grönwall battled and beat leukemia in recent years, but remained immunocompromised, making touring difficult.
“I'm getting stronger and healthier every day, but following my doctor's advice, I need to give myself more time to recover, which I can't do as the lead singer of Skid Row,” Grönwall said in a statement .
In place of Grönwall, Skid Row has enlisted rocker Halestorm, who will join the group for four shows beginning in May.
“This summer, my world comes full circle. Because not only do I get to share the stage as a frontman for this integral band, but more importantly, I get to call these boys my chosen family,” Hale said of joining Skid Row and signed on to promise the gigs . , “There will be blood on the stage!”
