Rich Robinson, a founding member of The Black Crowes, announced today via his official Facebook page that the band has broken up.
The reason for the breakup appears to be a disagreement regarding finances, with Robinson stating:
“I love my brother [frontman Chris Robinson] 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% of his share, reducing him to a salaried employee, is not something I could agree to. ”
