Skid Row split with Harnell

Skid Row have split with vocalist Tony Harnell, he’s reported.

The former TNT frontman had only joined the band in April, after they dismissed Johnny Solinger following a 14-year stint with the band.

Harnell says in a tweet: “I’m sorry to inform everyone that I’m no longer the lead singer for Skid Row. I thank the fans for their love and support!”

He hasn’t provided any further information. The band are yet to comment.

Bassist Rachel Bolan said of the split with Solinger: “Sometimes things just end. People go in different directions and grow apart and you have to make a decision.” But he added: “He will always be our brother.”

He also ruled out a reunion with original singer Sebastian Bach, who left in 1999, saying: “It wasn’t something that we entertained. It’s just something that we didn’t even think about.”

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
