UPDATE: Listen to drummer Steve Gorman extensively talk about the breakup here

With an official statement from founding member, guitarist Rich Robinson, influential roots-rock band The Black Crowes have broken up. Founded in 1989 in Marietta, Georgia, the band quickly became known for their hit songs “She Talks To Angels,” “Remedy” and their cover of “Hard to Handle.” The Crowes’ last performance was at San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on December 14, 2013.

Co-founding member (and Rich’s brother ) Chris Robinson currently fronts his solo band The Chris Robinson Brotherhood which is slated to play this weekend at the Sunshine Music and Blues Festival in Florida. As of press time, Chris has yet to respond to Rich’s statement which claims Chris pressed Rich to give up his equal share of the band and that drummer Steve Gorman move forward as essentially a “salaried employee.” Rich currently performs solo and with his own band, while Gorman and Jackie Greene (who toured with the Crowes in 2013) are members of Trigger Hippy.
