Skid Row are still on the search for a permanent new singer following the 2024 exit of former frontman Erik Gronwall due to health issues. Following Gronwall’s departure, the band did four shows with Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale, but she was unable to commit full time to the group due to time constraints with her main gig.
It’s long been rumored that the band would eventually reunite with longtime singer Sebastian Bach, but for a variety of reasons Skid Row has remained one of the very few rock bands that has not had a classic lineup reunion and subsequent tour. During a recent unplugged performance in Scotland with guitarist Joe Hottinger, Lzzy discussed her time in Skid Row and shared second-hand knowledge of what Bach thought of her fronting the group.
“It was awesome,” she said. “It was so great. I got to live out my teenage fantasy.I was a weird kid in the ’90s. I was listening to Skid Row and Alice Cooper and Dio. Yeah, those other girls were not having it. My friends were, like, ‘Alice Cooper, who is she?’ But anyway, so (Skid Row) asked me to join their band. They were having some in-between dates going on. And it was such a wonderful thing, ’cause we had all of these Halestorm fans coming and they would bring in their dads. So it was like a dad-son, dad-daughter date happening, going on, and it was just awesome.”
In reference to the never-ending bad blood between Skid Row and Bach, Lzzy said: “I know there’s some stuff. I didn’t get any of the real scoop between what’s happening with the Sebastian versus the rest of the guys. I know Sebastian very well. He’s always been sweet to me. And the best was, after it all went down, I got to talk to Dimebag Darrell’s wife (Rita Haney) And she’s, like, ‘Hey, we were up all night with Sebastian watching those Skid Row videos of you singing with them.’ I’m like, ‘Uh-oh. What’d he say?’ And apparently, he looks at Rita and he’s, like, ‘Man, I hate those guys, but she’s f*cking awesome.’ I’m, like, ‘Okay, good.'”
She continued: “It’s fantastic. It’s so weird to have watched all these music videos back when music videos were a thing. And then just to actually be up there and singing these songs. These songs were meant for singers. They’re amazing.”
