Skid Row’s drummer, Rob Hammersmith, was recently interviewed by Cover Band Confidential, where he discussed Skid Row’s search for a permanent new singer.

Regarding this, the drummer said:

“In a situation like this, it’s obviously an emotional rollercoaster. You’ve got a lot of factors at play. There’s the business side of things, but you’re talking about a health issue. We’re all adults.

”We’re all reasonable human beings and we understand that it’s unfortunate that it couldn’t have gone further than it did, but it is the reality. And it’s out of your control.

“One thing I have learned about the original members and the guys in Skid Row, they’re incredibly hard-working guys, they’re incredibly loyal and committed to this thing that they’ve worked very hard to create.

”And this sounds like a cliché answer, but somehow or another, the machine continues to roll on. And exactly what our future looks like, I don’t know, but it’s not the end of SKid Row. That’s for sure.”

Rob Hammersmith also talked about Skid Row’s possibility to perform with guest singers, such as they did in May with Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale, and keep looking for a new permanent singer:

“We have no confirmed shows on the books as of this conversation. We are speaking with a few people that might potentially be able to do the special guest slots, exactly what Lzzy (Hale) had gone out and done with us. We’re hoping that that can come to fruition before the end of this year.

”And in the meantime, we are looking for a permanent person, a permanent singer. So at this point, I don’t have any concrete announcements that I can make. But yeah, that’s the plan at this point.

”Things always move slower than you would like them to. As human beings, I think in a situation like this, it’s normal to wanna hurry up and have an answer and have a solution. And we’re really just working through it…

”We do have a live record coming out later this year, which we’re all very proud of. We worked hard with the mixing and the packaging of the record. So we’re all very pleased with that and we’re looking forward to the release of that.”
