Black Crowes calling it quits, says founding member Rich Robinson

Long-running Georgia rock group the Black Crowes is officially disbanding, according to a statement from the group’s guitarist Rich Robinson, apparently the result of a dispute with his co-founder brother and songwriting partner, Chris Robinson, over control of the group.

"It is with great disappointment and regret that after having the privilege of writing and performing the music of The Black Crowes over the last 24 years, I find myself in the position of saying that the band has broken up," Robinson’s statement said.

"I hold my time with the Black Crowes with the utmost respect and sincerest appreciation. It is a huge swath of my life's body of work. I couldn't be more proud of what we accomplished and deeply moved by the relationships people created and maintained with my music,” said Robinson, who started the band with his brother in Marietta, Ga. “That alone is the greatest honor of being a musician.
