After Skid Row announced Lzzy Hale as their new lead singer, Sebastian Bach reacted to the news by unfollowing Hale on social media.
Hale stepped in as the replacement for Erik Grönwall as Skid Row’s vocalist. Recently, the frontwoman of Halestorm shared her sentiments about what Skid Row signifies to her via Instagram:
“This is totally wild! I can’t believe my VHS audition tape finally made it in the mail! (I kid, I kid) I started listening to Skid Row when I was a teenager growing up on the East Coast in central Pennsylvania. They were one of the only bands at that time that truly bridged the gap for my love of ’80s big choruses and riffs but had the same poignant dirt and grime that was seeping into the cracks of my mind during the ’90s.”
She elaborated on how Skid Row influenced her as a rocker:
“By the early ’00s, Halestorm was well coming into its own, inspired by these powerful songs that helped me unlock a door within myself as a young musician. I can say without a second thought that if it weren’t for Skid Row in my bones, I would not be the rocker I am today. And this summer, my world turns full circle. Because not only am I able to share the stage as acting front person for this integral band, but even more importantly, I get to call these boys my chosen family.”
Hale also expressed gratitude for the support she received from Skid Row members during challenging times:
“No matter how much we both tour or how much time has gone by…we light up when we see each other. They have seen me through my rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, all while cheering me on. Time, space, history, age… are all relative, irrelevant, and elastic cuz we are all just astronauts cut from the same cloth, worshipping the same magic that is this music. I’m so grateful for their support of me in my career, and as a fellow human. Love you guys! There will be blood left on the stage!”
While her post did not reference Bach, Bach appears to have lost track of Lzzy. Lzzy still follows Sebastian on Instagram, and there have been no updates from her on Twitter. Bach, however, continues to follow her on Twitter.
